RESTON, VA — Reston Association's Board of Directors unanimously approved a contract Friday evening appointing Peter Lusk as the organization's new chief executive officer, making permanent the leadership role he has held since former CEO Mac Cummins resigned in January. The announcement came during a special virtual board meeting that began at 6:30 p.m. Friday.
The board also unanimously approved waiving the association's residency requirement for the CEO position for three years, allowing Lusk to serve under the organization's bylaws.
Board Approved Contract, Residency Waiver
Board Director John Farrell moved to approve Lusk's CEO contract, which had previously been presented to the board by the association's general counsel. After a brief procedural discussion regarding the meeting agenda, the board's attorney advised that approval of the contract was appropriate without adding a separate agenda item because the planned executive session was no longer necessary. The motion then passed unanimously.
