The Reston Citizens Association elected Dennis Hays as president of its Board of Directors, replacing Sridhar Ganesan, who resigned after being appointed to the Reston Association Board of Directors as an at-large director and treasurer.
Hays has been on the RCA Board since 2014 and was recently re-elected to another three-year term. Hays is also chairman of the Fairfax Library Associates, a member of the Friends of the Reston Library Board and is a former president of the Reston Runners.
“Reston’s founding principles are what drew me to Reston and RCA,” Hays said in a press release. “As Reston continues to address important issues such as the Planned Residential Community (PRC) zoning amendment, proposals for the new Reston Library and the ever more apparent lack of infrastructure as Reston grows, we need to work with the community and build a coalition of voices to preserve the ideals Reston was founded on."
In addition to Hays’ election the following board changes occurred:
· Moira Callaghan, North Point District, was elected vice president;
· Joe Leighton, South Lakes District, was re-elected treasurer;
· Nick Georgas, at-large, was re-elected as secretary;
· Connie Hartke, Hunter Woods District, re-elected;
· Hank Schonzeit, Town Center/Lake Anne/Tall Oaks District, re-elected; and
· Izzy Santa, South Lakes District, was elected to the board.
RCA is looking to fill two vacant board seats: At-large for one-year term and North Point Director for a three-year term. Interested applicants should email elections@rcareston.com.
