Whisperwood Cluster Association votes on appeal amid tech issues with president's remarks

The Design Review Board of Reston convened on April 15, 2025, to address key leadership nominations and an appeal from the Whisperwood Cluster Association. The meeting began with the re-election of Mike B. as chair, receiving a unanimous vote of 6-0-1. Mike expressed gratitude for the continued support and willingness to serve.

Following this, the board nominated Brian as a vice chair, which also passed with the same voting outcome. The leadership structure remains unchanged, with Mike B. as chair and Emily, Mike P., and Brian serving as vice chairs.

The meeting then transitioned to the main agenda item, an appeal from the Whisperwood Cluster Association. The board confirmed that they had sufficient members present to proceed with the vote, a point of concern from a previous meeting where a lack of quorum had delayed discussions.

Technical difficulties arose as the appellant, Sally, struggled to unmute and present her remarks. The board worked to resolve this issue, suggesting she join via phone if necessary. The meeting highlighted the board's commitment to ensuring all voices were heard, despite the challenges faced.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's stability in leadership and its readiness to tackle community concerns, with the Whisperwood appeal set to be addressed in the following discussions.
