Arlington County Board Member J. Walter Tejada's outlined his priorities during his annual New Year's speech during which he thanked his colleagues on the Arlington Board for having elected him as Vice-Chair of the Board. Paul Ferguson was elected Chair.
"As a Member of the Arlington County Board, I enjoy working to build a caring, inclusive community, to strive for social justice, and to build bridges connecting our diverse residents. A caring community is also a healthy community, and this year I will focus on three areas critical to our health.
The first promotes a healthy environment: an initiative to improve recycling opportunities for our local businesses. The second promotes a healthy lifestyle: an initiative called FitArlington, promoting a culture of fitness. The third promotes healthy civic participation: initiatives to better capitalize on our multicultural diversity and to help our immigrant residents integrate into our society."
