Press Club Newsmaker looks at presidential transition on Friday, Sept. 30 at 10 a.m.

What will the Clinton and Trump transition teams need to accomplish to ensure the next president will be fully prepared to assume the reins of power next January?

What are they already doing?

How has the transition process changed as a result of cyber security threats and other concerns?

These are some of the questions a National Press Club Newsmaker plans to examine on Friday, Sept. 30 at 10 a.m. in the NPC's Zenger Room. As with all Newsmaker events, this press conference is open to credentialed media and Press Club members, free of charge. No advance registration is required.

Thomas “Mack” McLarty, White House chief of staff under President Bill Clinton, and Clay Johnson, former executive director for the Bush-Cheney Presidential Transition, joined by Max Stier, president and chief executive officer for the Partnership for Public Service, plan to discuss the unprecedented pre-election transition operations established by both candidates and the organizational challenges they face in event of victory in November.

Earlier this year the Partnership for Public Service launched the Center for Presidential Transition to assist presidential candidates and their transition teams, the outgoing administration and federal agencies navigate the transition process, and to ensure that the next president will be ready to govern.
