Ellen M. Bozman

"Since I joined the County Board in 1973, Arlington has become a community of rich diversity, expanding opportunities and ever more complex governmental challenges. I know we can meet whatever lies ahead due to the pride that Arlingtonians show for their community and their willingness to help make it better. I am privileged to have been a part of this process."

"In a time when few women held public leadership roles, she distinguished herself as a passionate leader and pioneer, effective consensus-builder and powerful agent of change."

"Ellen Bozman set the bar high for civic service and leadership."

"A distinguished civic leader who dedicated her career to the community she loved."

"She was instrumental in embracing public transit solutions, affordable housing, public education and integrated social services programs."

"Her vision and passion for the community helped guide Arlington’s growth for decades, leading the County through its most transformative years."
