The Friends of White Flint:
The Friends of White Flint is a Maryland nonprofit organization, started in September 2007 by Barnaby Zall, a tax lawyer with an office in White Flint. The Friends of White Flint is an independent, non-profit organization, and has no connection to the Montgomery County Planning Board, the White Flint Steering Committee or any other government entity.
The Friends of White Flint is dedicated to implementing the Goal and Vision adopted by the Advisory Group. The Friends of White Flint represents the same broad diversity of backgrounds and interests as the former Advisory Group. Representatives of residential communities, business interests and landowners all participate in the Friends of White Flint. Members include the largest employers and businesses, homeowners and residential community organizations, and landowners and developers in the White Flint area, but we value all our members equally. Friends of White Flint attempts to carry on the successful positive but sensitive, consensus-building approach used by the former Advisory Group.
The Board of Directors of Friends of White Flint currently consists of David Freishtat, Evan Goldman, Suzanne Hudson, Ken Hurdle, Todd Lewers, Mike Smith, Mike Springer, Greg Trimmer, and Barnaby Zall. All members of the Board were members of the former Advisory Group. Goldman, Hudson and Zall are co-Chairs of the Friends of White Flint and represented the former White Flint Advisory Group in presenting the September 23, 2008, report to the Planning Board.
Membership in the Friends of White Flint is open to any person interested in building the new White Flint.
