The 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. During his service, he oversaw legislation and government policies for our national parks and forests, natural resources, environmental conservation and matters pertaining to public lands.
Healy’s dedicated public service has also extended to many volunteer positions within our local community as well. His service has included leadership positions with the Northern Virginia Swimming League, Camelot Civic Association, the Falls Church High School Parent Teacher Association and most recently as the Mason District representative to the Fairfax County Environmental Quality Advisory Council.
Healy will be up for reappointment in December 2026.
