A career employee of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development from 1973 until his 2003 retirement, Pass worked as the Senior Financial and Economic Advisor in the New Community Development Corporation and, late in his career, in Indian Affairs. In addition to writing \"Vallingby and Farsta from Idea to Reality: the New Community Development Process in Stockholm\" (1973), he also wrote \"New Communities in New York State\" (1971) and many other articles on new towns in Sweden and the United States.

The LWV's purpose is to encourage citizens to participate actively in government by supporting the party of their choice. While the LWV is a nonpartisan organization, and therefore does not support individual candidates, it does take a position on issues of a national, state, and local scale selected by the membership. Such issues of the past included support for a minimum wage, child labor laws, and equal opportunity for women in government and civilian life.","In Virginia, the LWV began as the Equal Suffrage League, which worked diligently for the ratification of the nineteenth amendment. The Equal Suffrage League joined the national LWV and created a state league. The first local league in Virginia was established in Richmond, followed by chapters in Alexandria and Arlington.","The League of Women Voters of the Fairfax Area (LWVFA) was granted full league status in 1948.
