    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.

Minutes from the Nation’s Capital, this independent city offers an attractive blend of commercial, office, retail, and residential properties combining the charm of a small town with the opportunities of a thriving urban area for the more than 20,000 that call the City of Fairfax home. The City of Fairfax was selected by Forbes Magazine in 2009 as #3 in the nation of the 25 top towns for living well – it is also a wonderful place to live and raise a family. A nationally recognized school system, a healthy residential real estate market and access to outstanding health care are among the advantages cited by residents. In 2011 the National Recreation and Parks and Association (NRPA) awarded the City of Fairfax Parks and Recreation Department a Gold Medal Award ‐ the most prestigious award in the field of parks and recreation ‐ only one of four agencies in Virginia to have won this award since its inception in 1965. Proud of our historic buildings including the site of the first Confederate fatality of the Civil War, we have the largest, most fascinating collection of Civil War graffiti in the nation along with the lore of spies and secrets. Whether it is shopping, dining, cultural arts, festivals, or events as well as the world‐famous GMU Patriots basketball team, you’ll find something exciting to do year round in our City’s friendly, safe environment.
