Dear Homeowners and Civic Association Leaders:
MCA is seeking candidates to serve on the MCA Board for the June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025, term. The official announcement and links to the application are below. I am reaching out to encourage you to nominate a member of your community to apply. MCA is non-partisan and advocates for the citizens. Unlike large developers and other organizations that can throw around money to achieve their goals, we, the residents, only have our grassroot efforts and ultimately, the power of our individual votes.
Each month as I preside over the MCA Board Meeting, I am astonished at the range of issues MCA works on. As you all know, MCA has been at the forefront of the efforts to kill the casino bill, but many of the issues MCA works are not reported on the front page of our local newspapers. MCA Committees are busy working on development issues, stormwater management, adequate outdoor space (parks, paths and playing facilities), invasive speciies mitigation, active transportation projects (includes both bikes and sidewalks), public safety, budget/spending issues and schools.
MCA is a 110-year-old organization. It is important for us to continue to evolve and effectively address and advocate for the citizens who live in the Greater McLean Area (Tysons, Falls Church, Vienna and McLean). With a seat on the Board, your representative can help us formulate and take positions on issues that will impact our quality of life.
If you have any questions, you can contact the Nominating Committee (see contact information below), or feel free to contact me via email or call. Please note the application deadline is March 11, but if you need more time, please contact the Nominating Committee.
Regards,
Linda Walsh
President
