The week of November 2, 2026

NEW COMMITTEE FOR DULLES MEMBERS

We welcome two new members to Committee for Dulles (CFD). The first is ReStl Designers, Inc., a leading provider of structural engineering solutions, specializing in value engineering, feasibility studies, inspection & testing services, rehabilitation & renovation analysis, restoration, and construction management. They are a 38-year-old company and have worked on such projects as the Dulles Airport Midfield Concourse West expansion, the Dulles Metro Rail Silver Line and the National's stadium.

The second new CFD member is not new to CFD. Timothy (Tim) Aldridge has been serving on the Board of Directors, but as a representative of Atlantic Aviation. Tim retired from Atlantic at the end of October, so he decided he would join CFD as an individual. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Tim.
