Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin announced his latest appointments to positions in his administration and on state advisory boards Friday. “I am confident that with their help we will be able to strengthen the spirit of Virginia and accomplish great things for our Commonwealth,” Youngkin said.

Among the names was Fairfax County resident Srilekha Palle, a healthcare leader and NOVA director for Rally Virginia. In 2019, Palle was the Fairfax GOP’s nominee for Sully District Supervisor. “I am immensely grateful to Governor Youngkin,” Palle said. “I look forward to serving as a liaison between the administration and our Commonwealth’s richly diverse Asian American and Pacific Islander communities.”

Fairfax GOP Chairman Steve Knotts lauded Palle’s appointment in a statement issued today. “Srilekha Palle is the personification of the American Dream,” Knotts said. “I was thrilled to learn of her appointment to the Asian Advisory Board and I have every confidence that she will serve the Commonwealth admirably.”
