One of ARCH's foundational principles is to build a network of homeowner associations that will easily interact with one another to share resources and ideas, thus creating a practical resource to homeowner association leaders in meeting their day-to-day management and problem solving challenges.  

Governance and Administration : This includes such areas as drafting or updating association documents (e.g. Bylaws), administering internal association rules and regulations (e.g. parking, pets), running association meetings, understanding and complying with the applicable external regulations (e.g. Federal, Virginia, Reston Association), and interacting with the RA Covenants Committee or Design Review Board.

Neighborhood Initiatives : This area covers those issues where an individual General Member is confronted with an issue that requires interaction with government agencies or officials on matters affecting the quality of life, safety or property values of their individual neighborhoods. The goal is to equip the General Member to be able to deal with such situations more effectively.

Procurement Support Initiatives:  Our Members generally have similar needs for certain key products and services: trash collection; paving; snow removal; roofing; painting/staining; street lighting; and (in some cases) professional management companies.  This initiative seeks to leverage our Members' experiences in these important areas.  ARCH has developed a referral database of vendors and suppliers that will hopefully save our Members time and money in procuring key goods and services;
