Reston Citizens Association

As a member of the RCA Board of Directors, you will interact with our community on the issues that impact them, meet with County and other local officials, and report on public meetings.  You will collect information, provide analysis and, based upon feedback received from the public, inform various local organizations directly and news outlets about public expectations for outcomes on issues that affect Reston.

To run for a director seat, you must live in Small Tax District 5, be a Reston resident 18 years or older, and live in the district which you plan to represent.

There are eight seats available in the 2018 elections. Download an application at http://bit.ly/2018RCAapp.

Your completed application must be sent to elections@rcareston.com by May 30th. Terms begin at the June 25 board meeting.

Founded in 1967, RCA is the only community-wide, non-partisan, and action-oriented organization in which everyone that lives, works and plays in Reston has a voice. A 13-member Board of Directors elected by Reston residents with the directors serving three-year terms governs RCA. One year seats may be appointed in uncontested races. Elections will be held from June 7 to June 22 for four district seats and four at-large seats for its Board of Directors.
