NPC Luncheon


Livestream starts at 1:00pm ET.

U.S. Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert A. McDonald will discuss his efforts to improve services to America’s millions of veterans at a National Press Club luncheon on Friday, Nov. 7, just four days before Veterans Day.

Nominated by President Barack Obama earlier this year, McDonald was confirmed by the United States Senate on July 29, 2014 as the eight Secretary Veterans Affairs. A former chairman of Proctor and Gamble, McDonald took over management of the VA amid a series of scandals involving treatment delays at the government’s veterans hospitals.

Lunch will be served at 12:30 p.m., with remarks beginning at 1 p.m., followed by a question-and-answer session ending at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $22 for Press Club members (NPC members may purchase two tickets at this rate) and $36 for all other non-member tickets. For questions, please email [email protected] or call (202) 662 – 7501. Tickets must be paid for at the time of purchase.

NPC Members who wish to attend the pre- luncheon reception must RSVP separately to [email protected] no later than 48 hours before the event. Space may be limited. You must have a paid reservation to the Luncheon to attend the VIP reception

To submit a question in advance, put VETERANS in the subject line and email to [email protected] before 10 a.m. on the day of the luncheon.
