General Opportunities

The Design Review Board (DRB) is responsible for reviewing all additions and alterations to many different types of Reston properties. To assist in the review process, the DRB develops Design Guidelines and review procedures, and establishes design standards for clusters.

The DRB is composed of nine members who serve for three-year terms. Seven of the members must be professionals in the area of design - architects, landscape architects or planners. There are no professional requirements for the other two members, but they must be members of the Reston Association.

DRB members generally have an interest in the design concepts on which the community was established and are motivated by a desire to serve its members. Experience in conducting public meetings and working with people is helpful in this role.

The DRB meets every Tuesday evening in groups of three, on a rotating basis. The Full DRB meets once a month. On average a DRB member is expected to attend two meetings each month, and to review the applications and visit certain of the properties prior to the meeting.

Appointments are made by the RA Board of Directors at the beginning of each year. If you would like to be considered for a position on the DRB, please provide a letter of interest and a brief resume to the DRB Secretary.

There are always one or more Design Professional seats available in any given year.

Send us an e-mail if you would like additional information about this committee or other volunteer opportunities.
