Our Mission:

Support the Dulles Airport Community by giving back 100% of funds raised by the Committee for Dulles Community Outreach (CFDCO) in the form of scholarships to graduating high school seniors who work/volunteer or have a parent/guardian who work/volunteer within Dulles Airport's perimeter. CFDCO also provides grants to local organizations that support the airport and its passengers. (Click here to apply for a scholarship)

Treasurer

Scott K. York joined the Committee for Dulles in 2019 as a member of the Board of Directors. He was appointed as Interim Executive Director in March of 2020, then appointed Executive Director in September of that year. 

Prior to January 2016, he had dedicated the last twenty-four years to public service. As a resident of Loudoun County, he was first appointed as the Sterling District Planning Commissioner, then elected to serve as the Sterling District Board of Supervisor on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors. After serving four years as the district representative, Scott became the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors and served as its Chair for sixteen years. Under his leadership as Chairman, Loudoun County transformed into a premier location to live and work, becoming one of America’s economic development success stories. His efforts helped establishing Loudoun as a leading technology location, a thriving hub for international investment and the home to Washington D.C.’s wine country. Scott’s emphasis on sound fiscal management established Loudoun County as an AAA rated community, which was vital as the county built out our critical road infrastructure, constructed more than forty new schools, and prepared for the arrival of the Washington D.C. Metrorail expansion into Loudoun. During his tenure with Loudoun County, Scott worked closely with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority to help ensure appropriate development around the airport.

Scott was recognized for his years of service from the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments by awarding him with the 2015 Elizabeth & David Scull Metropolitan Service Award. He also received the Loudoun Times Mirror 2015 Citizen of the Year award, the Dulles Area Transportation Association Presidents Award, Northern Virginia Building Industry Association’s Service Award, the Committee for Dulles 2011 Tower of Dulles Award, and an Honorary Degree of Associate of Humane Letters for recognition of distinguished achievement from the Northern Virginia Community College.
