Treasurer: F. E. Scudder Wagg
F. E. Scudder Wagg is a transportation expert who has lived in Fairlington since 2018, Wagg and his wife “really loved the peaceful feel of Fairlington but also how easy it was to reach lots of places easily. As someone who works on sustainable
transportation issues, I’m thankful that I can live in a place where walking, biking, and transit are real and relatively easy options.” Email Scudder: treasurer at fca-fairlington.org.
Director: Tom Keith
Tom Keith was born in D.C. and has lived in the area his entire life. He moved to the Meadows nearly two years ago with his fiancé Theresa, who is a school counselor with APS.
