You can vote either by U.S. mail or online (username and pass code on the ballot) by the deadline of April 10, 2009 at 5 p.m.  If you did not receive your ballot, contact Cate Fulkerson , Director of Administration and Member Services at 703-435-6512 or via e-mail at cate@reston.org.

Should the Reston Association Board of Directors be authorized to finance and expend, as determined by the Board of Directors, an amount not to exceed $15,000,000 to purchase a commercial office building or condominium space, or interest therein, or, in the alternative, to purchase property and to construct a building thereon for future use as the Association’s headquarters?

Controversy: In 2005, RA’s Board was authorized to spend $5,000,000 to purchase 20,000 sq. ft., yet the 2009 referendum asks for up to $15,000,000 for 35,000 sq. ft. without providing specifics (buy, lease, build?) nor adequate justification for the increases.

During these tough times, we encourage you to make an informed decision with regards to your RA dues before the April 10, 2009 voting deadline. Please visit the Headquarters Referendum webpage at Reston.org for updates, information sessions, Q&As, and other points of view.
