budgetBoard Holds Budget Workshop

The Reston Association Board of Directors held its fourth budget workshop last week. The board discussed funding for pools, camps, capital projects and other topics related to the 2016/2017 budget. The biennial budget will be approved in November. Click the image above to watch the video from the Oct. 1 workshop.

Every other year, the association CEO develops a two-year budget which reflects the changes in association's needs, costs and priorities as related to the organization's Strategic Plan. Input is sought on the budget from association members at monthly board and committee meetings, and public hearings.
