2026 Annual Meeting Election Results

The Clifton Crest HOA Annual Meeting was held as scheduled Monday, January 26th.  There was one seat on the HOA Board previously held by Chetan Modi up for reelection.  Chetan Modi was nominated for another term.  Additionally, a nomination was received from the floor for another candidate, Rabyya Khawaja.  When the election was held, the result was an apparent exact tie.  At Ingrid Ketterman’s suggestion, the decision made in the meeting was to simply expand the Board from five members to six so that both Chetan and Rabyya could both serve.

Subsequent research after the meeting revealed that the HOA By-Laws specify a strict limit of five members on the HOA Board of Directors.  To resolve the situation and bring us into compliance with the By-Laws, Uma graciously offered to resign her seat a year early.  We thank Uma for her many years of service and congratulate both Chetan and Rabyya on their election. Chetan will serve a new three-year term and Rabyya will serve the one remaining year of Uma’s term. [Preceding sentence in bold is a correction to the original post.]

Snow Removal and Association Response

Please be advised that the Association has a snow removal contractor in place who will be actively monitoring conditions and responding as the storm progresses. Snow removal operations will be prioritized based on safety and accessibility, including main roads, entrances, and emergency access areas first.

Due to the anticipated severity of the storm, high accumulation, and ongoing snowfall, snow removal efforts will take time and may not be immediate. Residents should plan accordingly and shelter in place unless travel is required due to an emergency or medical distress. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as crews work as safely and efficiently as possible under potentially hazardous conditions.

Resident Preparation Tips

We strongly encourage all residents to take the following steps in advance of the storm:

  • Check that balcony drains, vents, and emergency exits remain clear.
  • Avoid unnecessary travel during the storm and while cleanup operations are underway.
  • Ensure vehicles are parked in accordance with community guidelines to allow snow removal equipment access.
  • Stock essential supplies such as food, water, medications, flashlights, and batteries.
  • Residents who rely on medical devices requiring electricity should make arrangements in advance and ensure backup power options are available if possible.
  • Make sure you have an adequate supply of prescription and essential medications to last through potential delays.
  • Charge electronic devices ahead of time in the event of power outages.
  • Set thermostats appropriately and allow faucets to drip slightly to help prevent frozen pipes.

Health & Safety Considerations

  • Please check in on elderly neighbors, residents with medical needs, or those living alone, and encourage them to avoid being alone during severe conditions when possible.
  • Families and caregivers are encouraged to confirm emergency plans in advance.

Possible Storm-Related Impacts

  • Power outages
  • Frozen or burst pipes
  • Downed trees or limbs
  • Impassable roads or walkways
  • Structural damage due to heavy snow accumulation

If you observe an emergency situation (downed power lines, fire, or medical emergency), please contact 911 immediately. For urgent property-related issues after hours, please use the Association’s after-hour emergency contact line 703-481-1918 or main number 703-707-6404.

Further updates may be shared as conditions evolve. Thank you for your cooperation and for taking proactive steps to keep yourself and your neighbors safe.

Stay safe and warm!
