Evolution of Fairfax
Chairman Sharon Bulova, in partnership with the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce and the Fairfax County Federation of Citizens Associations, cordially invite you to the Evolution of Fairfax, a free three part series on where we are, where we are going, and where we want to be. For three nights in June, join panels of experts to examine our shared past, our present state, and our exciting future.
On June 13, join our panelists in looking back at the last 40 years of land use trends, patterns of development and community building in Fairfax County. On June 20, our panelists will examine the revitalization of Fairfax County's commercial centers, the redevelopment of Tysons Corner, and the rise of transit-oriented development. On June 27, a keynote speech will lead to breakout sessions so you can answer the question: where do we want to go?

Opening for Summer Interns to Update the Federation's Websites/Database and increase our social media presence
The Fairfax Federation would like to redesign its membership
database and website. If you know students with the ability to help us
with this effort and who would like to volunteer as an intern over the
summer months, please have them contact the Federation Webmaster.
Responses by 1 June would be appreciated. You are encourage to forward
this request to those who you think are qualified and interested.
The database structure redesign would entail organizing the
membership records by organization with attributes assignable to
membership organizations, individual representatives of the member
organizations, and financial reports of yearly membership activity.
The website structure redesign would entail refreshing our current
site with the aim of organizing the data therein contained so that it
is more logically presented and easily maintained.
Increasing our social media presence would involve establishing
the Federation on Facebook and Linkedin, as well as Twitter.
Intern applicants should submit examples of their current efforts.
