RESTON, VA — Reston Community Center is looking for a few good candidates to run for seats on the RCC Board of Directors. Any resident of Small District 5, who is 18 or older, can run for an appointment to the board.

Every year, RCC conducts the Preference Poll to determine who will serve on the Board of Governors, which sets the overall priorities and polices for RCC's budget and programs. The 2021 Preference Poll is being conducted to fill three board positions for three-year terms.
