The Reston Association Board of Directors named Larry Butler as acting CEO effective Sept. 4. The decision was made during a special meeting of the board on Thursday, Aug. 19. Current CEO, Harry “Hank” Lynch, recently announced he was leaving RA for another position. Lynch’s last day at RA will be Sept. 3.

Butler, a longtime RA employee, is the association’s COO. He served as acting CEO in 2018 during the board’s nine-month search to fill the organization’s top executive position. Butler has held various other positions during his tenure in Reston. He led the Parks & Recreation team, which is RA’s largest department, and was also senior director of Land Use and Planning. Butler was promoted to COO by Lynch in 2019.

“The association is fortunate to have someone with Larry’s experience to fill this important role as we work through the process of finding the organization’s next leader,” said RA President, Caren Anton. The board recently voted to form a sub-committee to begin the search for a new CEO.
