TextLord and Lady Fairfax
The Lord and Lady Fairfax Awards Program yearly honors two volunteer leaders from each Magisterial District. The honorees are selected for their outstanding volunteer service in their home districts or for an act of heroism. This year's Lord and Lady are introduced below, and at the bottom of this page is a list of all the honorees from Mount Vernon.
Barbara Sullivan, Lady Fairfax 2011
Barbara Sullivan has resided in the Mount Vernon District since the
1980s. Since then, she has joined the Paul Spring Retirement Community to
head the marketing/business development team in 2001. She focused on
senior issues and continued her education to qualify as a licensed
Administrator for Assisted Living in the State of Virginia. After
obtaining her license, she was promoted to Assistant Executive Director.
Ms. Sullivan left Paul Spring to open her own consulting practice helping
seniors maintain their independence at home and offering solutions for
families that need more care for their aging parents. She was a board
member, then appointed Executive Director of Mount Vernon At Home, a
non-profit to help seniors stay active and independent.
Ms. Sullivan served on the Board of Directors for the Mount Vernon Lee
Chamber and Chairman. She was awarded the Pro-Aging Award, Honoring
Exceptional Professionals in the Field of Aging, and the Citizen of the
Year award from the Mount Vernon Lee Chamber of Commerce. She volunteers
with the Chamber outreach programs and Inova Mount Vernon Hospital
Development.
Dale Johnson, Lord Fairfax 2011
Dale Johnson moved to the Active 55+ Spring Hill community in South
County and immediately became engaged in helping to lead the continued
transformation in Lorton. His involvement began with chartering the
Community Association of Spring Hill as he saw that there were
opportunities to lead the community and create an environment where
community members could have an active voice in their community
development process.
Through his leadership roles in the South County Federation (Vice
President and Transportation Chair), Mr. Johnson worked with the
community to prioritize transportation needs in the area. He also helped
guide the Federation to refine their boundaries and focus on community
engagement. And most recently, he did a brilliant job leading the Mount
Vernon Visioning Task Force with his direct approach, kind demeanor, and
thoughtful direction.
