(Posted Aug. 6, 2021) Reston Association CEO, Harry P. “Hank” Lynch, has resigned. The association’s Board of Directors was informed of the resignation this week. Lynch, who was hired in December 2018, said he has accepted another opportunity. Lynch’s last day with RA will be Sept. 3, 2021.

Lynch came to RA after the CEO position was vacant for about nine months. Cate Fulkerson, the previous CEO, mutually decided with the RA board not to extend her employment agreement. The board is charged with the responsibility of hiring and supervising the organization’s CEO and is expected to oversee the search for a new chief executive.

“We all wish Hank well in his new endeavors,” said RA President, Caren Anton. “His leadership has been invaluable during his entire stay in Reston and especially during the trying times caused by the pandemic. Hank has provided a steady hand and brought new and innovative ideas to the table. He will be missed.”

During Lynch’s tenure, the association significantly upgraded its IT security systems, remained fiscally sound and improved its customer service across the board. New measures were put in place to improve lake management and Covenants operations.

There will be a special virtual meeting of the board on Wednesday, Aug. 11 at noon to discuss next steps related to the search and hiring of a new CEO.
