David G. Sanders
Growing up in McLean, and previously serving as a youth member, an adult member and a two-term chairman of the McLean Community Center Governing Board, I understand what the center means to our community. I was involved in the construction of the Alden Theatre and the Old Firehouse Teen Center and helped organize MCC-sponsored community celebrations on McLean Day and the Fourth of July. I’m particularly interested in increasing the scope of activities for children at the center.

Jessica Richardson
I’m a junior at McLean High School and have been a resident of McLean most of my life. I have always been active in community service, first as a Girl Scout, then as a volunteer at Georgetown Hospital. Currently, I am an aide at a religious school, a tutor for elementary school children and a representative on the MCC Governing Board.
Hilary Sanders
I am a candidate because I want to serve in this position again. As there are some important and ongoing issues that have come before the MCC Board this year, I would like to stay on to be a part of the final decision making as I now have a better understanding of how this organization works. I have lived in McLean my whole life and I will graduate from Langley High School in 2007.
Jan Auerbach
I served on the board from 1996-2002. I initiated the MCC/Park/Library signage at McLean Central Park to improve MCC visibility, increased community information available in MCC’s lobby, arranged for absentee balloting for board elections, revised the budget format to facilitate public review, created a reserve fund for capital improvements and fostered the after school program for middle-schoolers at the Teen Center.
Jennifer Bainbridge
It would be a privilege to serve the citizens of McLean on the MCC Board. I am a long-time resident of McLean Hamlet, where I live with my husband and young son. Until December, I worked as a technology executive and I’m now a stay-at-home mom and MBA student. My son and I regularly attend classes at the MCC. I will use my business experience and enthusiasm to help the community center continue to provide high-quality programs.
