Appointed in May 2001 as the Mason District representative to the Park Authority Board, Frank S. Vajda has been an active member of the Park Board as well as an involved community volunteer since his retirement from a 28-year career in the United States Air Force. He is currently the Treasurer of the Park Authority Board and plays a significant role on several committees. He is Chairman of the Resource Management Committee as well as Vice Chair of the Park Services Committee. Vajda is also a member of the Executive Committee, the Awards Committee and the Planning and Development Committee. One of Vajda's goals for the Park Authority is to determine the definitive needs of its citizens. "As a practical matter, there is no one park that can meet everyone's needs," he said. "But we can come close to finding something for everyone when we look at the park system as a whole. And 'everyone' has to include people of all ages - from those who like sports and hiking to those who enjoy more passive activities, such as concerts." Vajda is a member and past president of the Court of Camelot Civic Association. He has served as a member of the Friends of Mason District Park and volunteers regularly for special events. As a 30-year veteran of the Camelot Neighborhood Watch Group, the oldest continuously active watch group in the United States, Vajda has used his experience with the neighborhood watch program to help organize and promote "Park Watch" at Pine Ridge Park in Annandale. He is engaged and enthusiastic about parks in this community and continues to be optimistic about new park projects, initiatives, partnerships and programs.
