Braddock District Council Returns To Action After Taking COVID Break

BURKE, VA — The Braddock District Council of Community Associations is holding a meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 21, its first meeting since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The meeting, which begins at 7 p.m., will be held at the office of Braddock District Supervisor James Walkinshaw at 9002 Burke Lake Road in Burke.

Among the meeting's topics of discussion will be aging in place and home-sharing initiatives for residents of the Braddock District who have extra bedrooms. The BDC’s new website and social media outreach strategies will be discussed at the meeting. The council's new officers will also be introduced.

The BDC represents the interests of community associations in the Braddock District of Fairfax County. Along with a new website, the council recently created a Facebook page to pass along information to members.

"The Braddock District Council was established to provide a forum for member community associations to coordinate efforts in dealing with common issues and to have a meaningful seat at the table in dealings with the district supervisor’s office," BDC Chair Bob Cosgriff wrote in a message posted on the council's website. "The supervisor’s office, in turn, is the key to dealing with the various County agencies and departments who provide services to residents."

Membership on the council is open to all HOAs, civic or community associations as well as condo and pool associations in the Braddock District. The size of the member organization dictates the dues and the number of votes on the BDC, according to the council. The Braddock District includes about 120 associations that would be eligible to join the council.
