RESTON COMMUNITY CENTER 2010 PREFERENCE POLL
Candidacy Registrations Begins On August 30
RESTON, VA — The Reston Community Center (RCC) is seeking interested candidates to run for a seat on its 2010-2011 Board of Governors. The Board of Governors is a nine-member body responsible for overseeing the operation of the RCC. All residents of Small District 5, ages 18 or older, are eligible to run for appointment to the RCC Board of Governors. Candidates must complete a Candidacy Statement in order to have their names placed on the Preference Poll ballot. Candidacy Statements will be available at the Center or online at www.restoncommunitycenter.com beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, August 30. The deadline for candidacy registration is 5 p.m. on Monday, September 13.
This year’s preference poll will fill three positions on the RCC’s Board of Governors. Board members serve a three-year term.
The Fairfax county Board of Supervisors established the RCC Board of Governors to represent the interests of the residents of Small District 5 on issues affecting the Community Center. Board appointments are actually made by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors after residents of Small District 5 have made their preferences known in the annual poll.
The RCC Preference Poll is a community event held annually to select members to serve on the RCC Board of Governors. The Board of Governors establishes the overall policies for the Center and oversees its programs and budget. Board members also represent the Community Center at social, recreational, cultural and educational activities in Reston. Each year, typically, candidates for three seats on the Board are subject to a community preference poll with voting by residents and businesses. Online, mail-in balloting and walk-in voting will be available from September 23 – October 14 until 5 p.m.
For more information on the 2010 RCC Preference Poll or Board of Governors, please visit our website at www.restoncommunitycenter.com or call the Center at (703) 476-4500.
