If you’ve been following the news in the local papers lately, you know that your Reston Citizens Association (RCA) is at the center of building Reston ’s future.  From the widely heralded campaign for home rule in 2008 - a referendum letting Restonians determine if they want to become a self-governing Town deciding little things like what will be built and where -  to improved systems of health care information, to participating in a long-overdue re-write of the Reston Master Plan governing our development, to WiFi, and more - RCA is providing the leadership!  And, we need a few good men and women to be part of the leadership team.  We need folks who care about the future of Reston, who have ideas and a little time and energy to make their mark in their community.  Become a civic leader. 

All Reston residents over the age of 16 are eligible to run and vote in our elections. We are particularly in need of representatives to strengthen the voice of Reston's racial and cultural diversity.  RCA Board meetings are normally held on the fourth Monday of the month at 8pm at the Comcast TV studio, 12345-G Sunrise Valley Drive, and are broadcast live on Ch. 28.

Want more reasons to run?...
Are there characteristics about Reston that you want to preserve or change? Are you concerned about Reston redevelopment and open space? Do you want to strengthen the spirit of the community through shared celebrations like the Reston Festival? Are you ready to exercise the gift of citizenship and participate as a voice for your community?

Consider the stability and the changes we have seen in Reston. Consider what has made this a wonderful home and community. And consider what you, your families, neighbors, friends and fellow citizens want to preserve, protect, enhance or create. Without a formal Reston government, we are often subtext in Fairfax County decisions that affect us. Reston is more than a subdivision. We have created a community that attracts world-renowned corporations and world-class associations. We have created a community that is representative of the world's cultures and races - a suburban community, with urban character and rural beauty. This dynamism and diversity does not evolve without growing pains and conflict; nor does it evolve without dedicated, energetic and involved citizens.

All Reston residents over the age of 16 are eligible to run and vote in our elections.
