FCRC Announces 2010-2012 Leadership Team

By Brian S

headFCRC Chairman Anthony Bedell released his Leadership Team for the 2010-2012 cycle this afternoon.

.

The full list is available after the jump, but I wanted to take a few moments to highlight some of the changes from the past leadership team.  First, you’ll notice that there are quite a few new positions for the 2010-2012 cycle.  I think adding these positions is a great idea, as a Committee the size of the FCRC really needs to have a lot of involvement from its leadership, and spreading the amount of work over a larger number of people makes everything easier on everyone.  We’ve got an incredible amount of talent in this committee and I’m glad to see so many activists included.  One of the areas I am especially happy to see given greater attention is outreach.  My good friend Terrence Boulden will be heading up African-American outreach, and there are outreach coordinators for Latinos, Chinese, Women and Veterans.  You all know that I am easily frustrated by the Democratic attacks on the Republican party as being bigoted and racist, and I am looking forward to Terrence, Sasha Gong and the other coordinators to aggressively recruit new Republicans.  The FCRC represents a diverse group of activists and I am happy to see us focusing on outreach to a variety of  different key constituencies in Fairfax County.

.

You’ll also notice my name is on the list.  I’ve accepted the role of Communications Director for the Committee.  I’m excited to be able to volunteer my time to help Anthony and the rest of the leadership team as we work to elect Republicans across Fairfax County.  Given that my role represents a “public face” of the FCRC, I am, from this point forward, going to recuse myself from any more online advocacy of primary candidates for office.  As you know, I’ve been vocal about my stance on the 11th District primary.  However, it would be inappropriate for me to be handling communications for the FCRC while continuing my advocacy of a candidate online.  My endorsement still stands, but I am not going to actively comment on that or any other primary within Fairfax County.

.

I encourage everyone to come to the May 4th FCRC meeting at Robinson High School where Chairman Bedell is going to brief the entire Committee on the new leadership team and his vision for the next two years.   It’s a meeting you won’t want to miss!

Team Fairfax:


I am pleased to announce our new FCRC leadership team for 2010-2012. At our May 4th meeting I will provide detail and context on each appointment and committee and how they will each function and support the elected officials, candidates and membership. This structure is new to the FCRC and I believe weaving this “tapestry” together will not only harness the incredible talent and energy of our membership but it will also lead us to achieving our shared vision of the FCRC becoming a high performance political organization that is second to none.
.
Thank you for your continued support of the FCRC. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions, concerns or feedback.

Anthony Bedell
Chairman
