Today is a bittersweet day.
The inauguration ceremony for the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, Fairfax County constitutional officers and the Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District directors will be held tonight at 6 p.m. in the forum of the Government Center. The event can be live streamed here: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/cableconsumer/channel-16/live-video-stream. It will be the first swearing-in ceremony in over 30 years where I will not be a participant.
At my retirement reception last Monday, there was a moment where I was joined by nearly a dozen past, present and future members of the Board of Supervisors. It was a reminder of where Fairfax County has been, where it is going, and the people who have watched it grow along the way.
I am so thankful for the time I’ve spent as a member of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. Over these many years I have seen Fairfax County undergo tremendous changes. We have survived recessions, developed a strong network of public transportation, and seen exciting new mixed-use development in areas like Tysons, the Mosaic at Merrifield and Reston. Fairfax County’s demographics are very different from when I first took office in 1988. We have a larger percentage of older residents. We are much more racially and culturally diverse, something we appreciate and celebrate.
It’s been a long road to today, but I can say with confidence that I am leaving Fairfax County in a good place. I wish the newly elected Board of Supervisors all the best and know that Fairfax County is in great hands.
It has been an honor to serve Fairfax County for these many years. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support, your guidance, and your love for our community. I look forward to enjoying Fairfax as a wonderful place to not only live, work and play, but also to retire.

Congratulations to Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova on receiving a 2019 Disability Inclusion Champion Award at The Arc of Northern Virginia's Annual Meeting!!
The Disability Inclusion Champion Awards were created to honor people who have worked tirelessly for people with developmental disabilities and their families for many years, and whose lasting impact will continue to guide our region.
The first award goes to longtime Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman, Sharon Bulova, who began her work on the Board of Supervisors in 1988 and has spent the last decade as Chair. Under her leadership, Fairfax County has transformed the way it supports and honors its residents with developmental disabilities.
In most of Virginia, graduates with developmental disabilities cling desperately to the hope that their coming high school graduations will finally mean they receive a Medicaid Waiver, providing funding to support their success on the job. In Fairfax County, Chairman Bulova has worked to ensure that Fairfax County Public Schools graduates with developmental disabilities who need a little extra support after graduation get it. She has fought to fund our special education graduates and have this funding be part of the Fairfax County base budget, so families have reasonable assurances that there will be opportunities after graduation.
Under Chairman Bulova’s watch, Fairfax County has invested in Early Intervention services for our littlest residents who need help getting started on the right foot, and in our employees with disabilities who have challenges that require nurses or behavioral support staff to help them at day programs and jobs. Fairfax County has worked to grow the stock of affordable housing, accessible transit, and good jobs. In short, Fairfax County has become a more inclusive community.
Thus, it was perfectly fitting that this summer, Chairman Bulova hosted a Disability Inclusion Conference as the final County-wide conference of her Board of Supervisors career. The event this past June drew more than 400 people with disabilities and their family members to learn about Fairfax County initiatives and how the County can continue to do more in order to include everyone in making Fairfax a great place to call home.
Chairman Bulova has always been responsive to the needs of people with disabilities and their loved ones. Her leadership of the Fairfax Board of Supervisors will be felt for years to come. We are so pleased that her son, Delegate David Bulova, is here to accept this award on her behalf tonight and we look forward to continuing to work with him and the General Assembly to champion these same ideals across Virginia.

Thank you very much for sharing this information about our work.
Edu-Futuro has assisted more than 1,200 Latino and immigrant families who reside in Northern Virginia and disbursed more than $900,000 in emergency assistance funds since the pandemic started, for rent, utilities, food, medicine, and other emergencies, making us the largest immigrant-led nonprofit in the region, with a $2.68 million budget and a staff of 30 at the close of the last fiscal year.
But make no mistake, we need your support.
The services we provide are unique due to our bilingual-bicultural capacity, which is not provided by any other non-profit organization in the region. Our case managers assist our beneficiaries to navigate the services for emergency assistance, without having received any financial support for the assistance provided. When the federal government offered the second round of PPP loans, our organization did not qualify. Ironically, this was because our financials looked strong due to the $900,000 we were able to raise for emergency assistance since the pandemic started, despite the fact that these funds were a passthrough, leaving our organization with a higher level of demand, and disproportionately fewer resources.
So, Edu-Futuro has become the victim of its own success. The funds we have been able to secure for the delivery of emergency assistance only allowed 2% to 10% maximum to cover administrative costs.
Despite all of the challenges, we are very proud to inform you that we quickly adjusted our organization to help those thousands of families. On June 30, 2021, when our fiscal year ended, we had provided 3,385 services to 3,268 unduplicated children, youth, and adults.
For the 85 high school students we served through our Emerging Leaders Program for college applications, financial assistance, and scholarship applications, 83 students were accepted at colleges and universities. (The 2 students who opted not to attend college postponed their postsecondary education because they were the only ones who could get jobs in their families.) For their first year, our students received over $5.58 million in financial aid and scholarships, plus an additional $21.5 million to those students who secured four-year financial support.
These students are currently attending very prestigious universities like Yale, Stanford, Harvard, NYU, William and Mary, Marymount, George Mason, Northern Virginia Community College, George Washington, the University of Virginia, and Virginia Tech among others.
We would really appreciate it if you assist us in keeping the capacity we have to continue providing critical services to the members of our community in Northern Virginia.
Whether you can donate or not before the end of this campaign on December 31st, please visit our website and be a volunteer. We thank you in advance for supporting us.
Happy holidays!

Edu-Futuro has developed a research-based two-generation approach that ensures immigrant youth and families attain postsecondary goals, improve long-term financial stability, and strengthen interfamily cohesiveness. Every year more families are positively impacted by Edu-Futuro’s programs.
During the last fiscal year, Edu-Futuro provided 3,385 services to 3,268 unduplicated children, youth, and adults, of which 80% are considered extremely low-income, very low-income, and low-income (based on the Community Development Block Grant Income limits.)
In our 2021 virtual Gala, Building a Brighter Future, we will honor these families' resilience, especially in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you can't join us in Building a Brighter Future, we're going to miss you, but we hope you can make a donation or sponsor the event to support those families. Thank you very much!

Currently, Edu-Futuro was chosen as one of only 12 lead agencies in the Commonwealth of Virginia for the National AmeriCorps Community Service Program.
