In Memoriam - Ann Rodriguez of Fairfax County
It is with considerable sadness that I share with you that Ann Rodriguez passed away yesterday after a valiant struggle with cancer. As you might expect, over the last several months as she fought this battle, Ann retained her high spirits, good cheer, and that wonderful light touch of humor that was a hallmark. She was surrounded by her family in the last days.
A thirty year resident of Reston, Ann was active in local arts, civic and business communities. She was a member of the board of directors of the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, a member of the Reston Hospital Board of Trustees and served for six years on the board of GRACE, the Greater Reston Arts Center. She was a member of the boards of Virginians for the Arts and the Lorton Arts Foundation. In 2004 she became the President and CEO of the Arts Council of Fairfax County. As our President and CEO, Ann was the "face" of the arts in Fairfax County.
