    ABOUT THE SCHAR SCHOOL POLICY SEMINARS NOVA LEADERSHIP DINNER AND AWARDS THE REGIONAL ELECTED LEADERS INITIATIVE The Schar School of Policy and Government Presents The Regional Elected Leaders Initiative Friends - We are thrilled to have created the Regional Elected Leaders Initiative (RELI) within the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. As we continue to grow and expand our offerings to prepare our students better, we also recognize a responsibility and opportunity to engage directly with the elected leaders in our home of Northern Virginia. Our vibrant Northern Virginia region now exceeds 2.5 million people—nearly one of every three residents of Virginia. Our region is diverse and increasingly complex, requiring cross-border collaboration and innovative thinking to tackle our challenges. That is why we are so excited to have created RELI as a means to support, engage, educate and connect our local elected officials from the state house to the school house. Through policy seminars, the NOVA Leadership Dinner and other special events, future programming, and strategic partnerships - RELI will be a facilitator and catalyst for hands-on regional dialogue and problem-solving. Please join us as an attendee, a policy expert or a sponsor. Best, Mark J. Rozell Dean THE REGIONAL ELECTED LEADERS INITIATIVE The Regional Elected Leaders Initiative (RELI) of the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University was created to enhance regionalism and support Northern Virginia’s regional elected leaders—General Assembly Members, City and Town Mayors and Council Members, County Supervisors and School Board Members. As Northern Virginia grows and faces increasing challenges, RELI recognizes the value of working across jurisdictional boundaries and levels of government to identify and implement effective and sustainable solutions.

  • Mesaʼs 51St Annual Meeting
    PRELIMINARY PROGRAM VER. 10-12-17 Jake McGuire Destination DC MESAʼs 51st Annual Meeting Washington DC November 18-21 We return to DC for MESA’s 51st annual meeting at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel where we have met every three years since 1999. The hotel is located in a lovely residential area near the National Zoo, but a nearby stop on the metro red line makes all parts of DC easily accessible. The program of 230+ sessions (see pages 12-51) spread over four days will offer a smorgasbord to whet the appetite of any Middle East studies aficionado. MESA’s affiliate groups meet mostly on Saturday, November 18 (see pages 10-11) and the first program session begins that day at 5:30pm. Panels run all day Sunday and Monday and end at 3pm on Tuesday. The book bazaar will be open Sunday and Monday from 9am to 6pm and on Tuesday from 8am to 12pm (see pages 8-9). MESAʼs ever-popular FilmFest (see the teaser on pages 6-7) begins screenings on Saturday morning and runs through Tuesday until around 2pm. The MESA Presidential Address & Awards will be held Sunday evening from 6pm to 7:30pm, and the MESA Members Meeting on Monday evening from 6pm to 8:00pm. As you will see, it’s business as usual, except of course for a new administration that is determined to ban nationals of six Muslim majority countries from traveling to the US, and MESA having joined a lawsuit against the ban that is making its way to the US Supreme Court in October.

  • Emily Hamilton. “The Politics of Redevelopment Planning in Tysons
    Emily Hamilton. “The Politics of Redevelopment Planning in Tysons and Outcomes 10 Years Later.” Mercatus Working Paper, Mercatus Center at George Mason University, Arlington, VA, June 2020. Abstract Following the allocation of funds for a new line on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s Metrorail system, the Board of Supervisors in Fairfax County, Virginia, undertook redevelopment planning for its Tysons area. The redevelopment plan was the first of its kind. The board adopted a comprehensive plan that established the objective of transforming Tysons from highway-oriented suburban office park development into a walkable, mixed-use area. The redevelopment effort has received extensive attention for its goal to turn a highly car-oriented area into walkable, transit-oriented development. But what is perhaps more notable about the Tysons redevelopment planning effort is its objective to allow extensive multifamily housing construction in a wealthy suburban community. So far, more progress has been made toward the goal of housing construction than walkability. JEL codes: R520, R310, R380 Keywords: Tysons, zoning, redevelopment planning, home building, housing, walkability, transit-oriented development Author Affiliation and Contact Information Emily Hamilton Research Fellow, Mercatus Center at George Mason University [email protected] Acknowledgments I thank Isaac LaGrand, Robert Orr, and Ann Miller for research assistance on this project.

The minutes from the November 28, 2017, Public Safety Committee meeting were approved. The first topic on the agenda was Police Pursuit Policy and the Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver. David Pienta, with the PursuitSAFETY organization participating by conference call from a remote location, provided several recommendation and consideration points from his review of the draft Police Department pursuit policies. o Goal is an objective rather than subjective policy. o Draft policy provides some guidelines, but police supervisors would still be making “subjective” decisions on a pursuit. o No stated mandate for police officer to clear traffic control devices safely. o No stated mandate for police officer to remain on scene if involved in an accident during a pursuit. o Police officer should render aid when an accident occurs. 1 o Guidance should be included on tactical de-escalation for the conclusion of a felony vehicle stop.
