Fairfax County CERT Legacy Members

“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”

– Isaac Newton

Fairfax County Community Emergency Response Team (FFX CERT) owes its success in large part to the members of the organization that have come before. Since its inception in 2003, FFX CERT has been extremely fortunate to have an ongoing stream of motivated members willing to dedicate their time and efforts to providing service and instruction to the community as well as to improving the organization. Without their continued support, FFX CERT would never have been able to achieve what it is today. Below is a list of some of the people who have furthered CERT’s achievements over the years.
