SUMMARY:Breakfast Feb-2023
DESCRIPTION:Join DAD for a look at some of the issues driving deliberations on local County Boards.  Our guest speakers are Phyllis Randall\, Chair of the Loudoun County of Supervisors\, and James Walkinshaw\, Fairfax County Supervisor for the Braddock District. They will address a range of issues\, including equity initiatives\, budgetary priorities\, and County-State relations in our fraught political environment. \nChairwoman Randall recently led Loudoun’s approval of an initiative adopting social and racial equity as fundamental values guiding decisions by the County Board of Supervisors. Implementation of this Equity Resolution will use data-driven methods to identify priorities for budgetary action and to reduce disparities and distribute resources equitably across Loudoun’s citizenry. \nSupervisor Walkinshaw chairs the Legislative Committee of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. This puts him at the center of County interactions with the Youngkin administration and its conservative activist agenda.  Supervisor Walkinshaw served more than a decade as Congressman Gerry Connolly’s Chief of Staff and policy advisor. \nLocal government is at the forefront in shaping inclusive policy that determines the quality of life in our communities.  Join these local leaders to share thoughts on how to continue forward progress during Gov. Youngkin’s term of office \n\n\nMonday\, Feb 20\, 2023\nAmphora Diner 1151 Elden St.\, Herndon\n7:30 AM: network; 8:00 AM: breakfast and speaker\n\nEmail allisondickert (AT) gmail.com for assistance.\ndownload flyer

SUMMARY:Breakfast - August 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join DAD for a breakfast panel with Fairfax and Loudoun Candidates in 2023 Pivotal Races: \n\nSaddam Azan Salim – Senate District 37\, Fairfax County\nChris Falcon – Clerk of Court\, Fairfax County\nAlbert Vega – Springfield District Supervisor\, Fairfax County\nCraig Buckley – Sheriff\, Loudoun County\n\nJoin DAD to welcome first time candidates who are in pivotal races in Northern VA. If elected\, we will see significant changes for the constituents and the region they represent. Although their races are winnable\, this year’s election cycle proves to be a challenge to turn out voters without a statewide candidate on the ballot. \nLocal candidates will not be designated with a “D” next to their name on the ballot. Educating voters is critical this year while energizing them to vote in these important races. \nJohn Block\, LCDC Joint Campaign Director\, will join the discussion as to what’s at stake this year. \nDownload flyer
