Rick HealyThe Fairfax County Park Authority is pleased to announce that Rick Healy has been appointed by Mason District Supervisor Andres Jimenez to represent his district on the Park Authority Board. Healy will fill the seat vacated by former member Ron Kendall, who has served with distinction as the Mason District representative on the board for nearly eight years.

Healy, a former staffer for the U.S. House of Representatives, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the board. During a distinguished 35-year career in public service, he has held several senior staff positions, serving the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Appropriations Committee’s Interior Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations subcommittee.
