Authority Elected
to I served as Legislative Chairman and Liaison for the Virginia Association of Surveyors from 1997 until 2009. During the twelve years in that position, I appeared before House of Delegate and Virginia Senate committees and members to introduce, promote and shape many bills affecting engineering, land surveying, real estate, competitive bidding, environmental regulations and the homebuilding industry. While serving on the Planning Commission, I worked with City Council and City Staff to develop the City’s 2020 Land Use Plan, which is the City’s Vision for the Future. We also rewrote the City Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance. This process took more than three years and involved public hearings across the City. I am a strong proponent of regional cooperation. Through my appointment to the Danville-Pittsylvania Regional Industrial Facility Authority and the Danville-Pittsylvania County Metropolitan Planning Organization, I have seen and experienced the results that can be achieved through municipalities working together. |
