Friends and Neighbors,
Our meeting on May 15th will close out the year for the current seven-member Board of Directors of the Springfield Civic Association (SCA). You will elect a new Board for the coming session on that Tuesday evening as Alice Merrill (Secretary) and Bonnie Pritchard (At-Large) move to join our large Executive Committee or ExCom comprised of past presidents, Board members and community activists. New candidates will be presented for consideration, but the key, I think, is that Board membership continues to change and re-energize as more of us get engaged. Alice and Bonnie have earned our respect and admiration for their volunteer spirit, ideas and hard work. Their skills and experience provide a glimpse of the breadth and depth of talent, intelligence and esprit de corps that the SCA possesses on every street. The SCA owes them a vote of thanks for jobs well done.
After Board elections on the 15th we will hear directly from our elected representatives, e.g., Congressman Connelly, State Senator Dick Saslaw, State Delegate Vivian Watts, and Supervisor Jeff McKay. Congressman Moran may also attend since we move into his Congressional District in the next election cycle. They each will be accorded time to speak followed by question time from you, their constituents. Make time to meet them and chat with them face-to-face. They will have much to tell you, and they will very much want to learn your concerns. The SCA has a strong reputation for showing up and making itself heard at these forums. It is one of our strongest assets in influencing events and shaping our environment. Let’s show strength in numbers, make our representatives welcome, and have a healthy exchange of views and information.
Looking forward, we have new ideas in store for next season’s programs. We may hold another special session or two, like we did on April 17th. The Real Estate Panel coordinated by Gail Nittle and facilitated by Michele Duell will be remembered as one of our best ever SCA-sponsored events. We are considering further outreach to the business community as business in Springfield continues to flourish and grow now that BRAC is completed and the mall is due to begin its reformation (see more on the mall later in this edition). The SCA has worked hard and will continue to seek opportunities to partner with government and business as we step forward. Our goal is to actively shape the future where and when we can.

There is much work left to do, as there always is in a dynamic world. What work gets done is largely reliant on SCA members showing up and getting engaged in those endeavors that mean the most to them. The SCA needs your ideas and volunteer spirit. I can think of no better way to expand your horizons than to join the SCA or partner with it as the ‘Springfield Renaissance’ accelerates.
My best regards,
