Washington Metro GM Paul Wiedefeld to headline Nov. 30 luncheon

Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) General Manager Paul Wiedefeld will address the state of Metro at a National Press Club luncheon on Wednesday, Nov. 30.

Wiedefeld is entering a challenging time as he fights off bankruptcy while responding to safety and service issues with sometimes hostile jurisdictional masters and a beleaguered governing structure.

Lunch will be served at 12:30 p.m. EDT with remarks beginning at 1:00 p.m., followed by a question and answer session ending at 2 p.m.

Tickets cost $24 for Club members, who may purchase two tickets at this rate, and $38 for all other non-member tickets. Tickets may be purchased online.. For questions, please email [email protected] or call (202) 662-7501. Tickets must be paid at time of purchase.

NPC members who wish to attend the pre-luncheon must RSVP separately to [email protected] 48 hours prior to 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 METRO in the subject line and email to [email protected] before 10:00 a.m. on the day of the luncheon.
