Reston Association has hired a new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). David Harris joined RA on Feb. 18 and will lead the department of Finance and Information Technology directing the association's financial interests, while helping to prepare for future development with an eye toward maintaining the sustainability and viability of Reston.

Harris was most recently the Vice President, Finance & Operations for Affinity Center International, LLC where he was responsible for the accounting and operations infrastructures and company policies and procedures.  

"We're thrilled to welcome David to the team," said CEO Cate Fulkerson, "His strong experience and ability to work as part of the RA team was evident to all who were part of his interview process. He understands the needs of RA and we look forward to having him at the helm of the Finance & IT Department."

Harris has a master's and a bachelor's degree in accounting from West Virginia University. He lives with his wife and two children in Chantilly, Va.

Reston Association attempts to remove snow from pathways and sidewalks owned by RA within a reasonable time after a snowfall. For more information about RA pathway plowing, call RA's Central Services Facility at 703-437-7658.

Please note that sidewalks and pathways not on RA property, including many found along Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) roads and rights-of-way, are not the responsibility of RA to maintain. Public streets and public rights-of-way are VDOT's responsibility, but it is RA's understanding that neither VDOT nor Fairfax County remove snow from public sidewalks.

Please contact VDOT directly for information related to their standards of maintenance and snow removal or to report roads that have been missed (Highway Helpline: 1-800-367-7623).

Private streets not on RA property, such as those located within condominium associations, cluster associations and/or apartment complexes, are generally the responsibility of the applicable owner, condominium association or cluster association. Residents of those facilities should contact their association or property management company.

RA encourages all owners who may have public sidewalks adjacent to their properties to clear these for the safe passage of pedestrians, including school children, persons with disabilities and the elderly.
