Committee Chair: Rick Fletcher – Rickflet1019@gmail.com

The Technology Committee will advise and assist the Board of Directors on technology issues that impact residents, infrastructure, environment, and general management of the Association. The committee’s scope is not limited to any particular type of technology or technical field.

A particular emphasis for the committee will be technologies that effectively enable a historic community such as Parkfairfax, with its aging infrastructure, to modernize the technical aspects of services to residents in ways that also protect and retain the essential and desirable physical, environmental, and other “quality of life” characteristics of our historic neighborhood.

Specifically, the committee will monitor, review, and make recommendations on technology matters, in or in the vicinity of Parkfairfax, including (but not limited to) the following exemplars:

• Science technologies (e.g. environmental technologies, transportation technologies, health technologies, HVAC technologies, and many others);
• Information technologies (e.g. computing technologies, telecommunications technologies, GPS technologies, and many others); and
• Any other technologies or related areas of interest that the Board of Directors may approve (upon request of the committee) or assign.

Members will leverage their own technology experience, but will also regularly seek out additional technical knowledge and “best practices” from other sources, when researching technology issues and providing input for committee advice and assistance to the Board.

For each technical recommendation it makes, the committee will also identify alternatives it considered, how it compared and evaluated the alternatives (including cost), and what factors might cause the current evaluation and recommended alternative(s) to change in the future.

The committee will work diligently to provide the Board with advice and assistance that, while not omitting any necessary technical details, will clearly translate and summarize technology issues, alternatives, and recommendations into lay-person language as much as possible.

The committee meets on the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Association Office
