Candidates for Residents’ Council 2024
Virginia Antevil
I moved To Charlestown from Alexandria, Virginia in October of 2022 after retiring as director of administration and professional standards staff officer for SIOR, the commercial affiliate of the National Association of Realtors. Since moving to Charlestown, I have been actively involved in projects for the Resident Life Committee and assistance with “Mission Moment.” I believe that over 20 years of administrative work for not-for-profit associations, and prior to that, my experience as a college professor of government, positions me well to serve as a member of the Residents’ Council. Over the past few months, I have observed the work of the various Council committees, and if asked to serve, would diligently work to effectively represent the interests of our residents and to advance the objectives of the Council.
