Park Authority Board Names 2013 Officers
Elections were held in January by the Fairfax County Park Authority Board and its 2013 officers were selected. Board members unanimously approved re-election of Chairman William G.

In addition to being a successful businessman, Fay has been recognized worldwide for his global environmental policy expertise.
