Deborah Powers CHAIR Staff Liaison Michael Signer January 10, 2011 VICE CHAIR Arlington County Board 2100 Clarendon Boulevard Suite 300 Arlington, Virginia 22201 SUBJECT: Commission Annual Report – Calendar Year 2010 Dear County Board Members: The Emergency Preparedness Advisory Commission (EPAC) has completed its first full year in operation and I am pleased to provide to you our first annual report. First let me say that I am honored to have been appointed to Chair this commission and welcome the opportunity to continue to serve the County Board for the rest of my term and beyond on the commission or in other capacities. I am particularly proud of the makeup of the commission as we are now at full membership and have experienced relatively little turnover. As you look over the report you will see that the commissioners are a diverse group of talented professionals that I believe have and will well represent the interests of the residents, businesses, and visitors of the County. While not new to Arlington County as a resident since 2001, I am clearly new to the ways of the County and was basically unfamiliar with the details on how the County Board served their constituents and all stakeholders. Having completed the first year on this commission and seeing the activity and products of other commissions, I find myself a true believer in these volunteer commissions and the value added they provide.
