ANC Commissioner

Gail Fast

Gail Fast has lived in Southwest for 30-years, attracted by the economic, cultural, and social diversity of Southwest and the over whelming community engagement affecting our way of life.

She is a returning ANC Commissioner having served on ANC 6D from 2016-2020 as both Secretary and Chair.

In addition to her past tenure on ANC 6D, Gail was a member of the Advisory Committee, who in 2015, developed the Southwest Small Area Plan, a community-based strategy for urban design, land use and neighborhood preservation. The Plan’s framework includes enhancing parks, pedestrian, and street connections; enhancing transportation choices; integrating community amenities; and accommodating and guiding the direction of future growth in the Southwest neighborhood.

As a member of the Southwest Community Center’s Board of Directors, Gail was instrumental in coordinating the SWDCCC’s first community event, the Mutt Strutt/Pups in the Park celebration. The fun-filled day included a 2-mile dog walk, pet costume contest, pet-friendly vendors, and raffle.

Gail is an avid Washington Capitols fan and can be seen morning, noon and night walking her dog Evie.
