Molly McCluskey to take over as NPC Membership Secretary

The National Press Club's Board of Governors voted unanimously on Monday night to appoint Molly McCluskey as membership secretary to replace Evan McMorris-Santoro who stepped down because of election-related duties that have kept him traveling this year.

McCluskey, an independent journalist and board member since 2014, was previously vice chair of the Club's Freelance Committee and chair of the International Correspondents Committee. She also re-invigorated and grew the Club's social media and was the 2015 recipient of the Berny Krug Award, given to the Club's top volunteer.

The board also voted to name McMorris-Santoro, a Buzzfeed reporter, to replace McCluskey on the board, given his interest in contributing to the institution. By Constitution, vacancies on the board or with officer positions can be filled by a vote of the majority of the board and the appointments last until the General Membership Meeting following the election. McMorris-Santoro joined the Board in 2015.

I would just personally like to thank McCluskey and McMorris-Santoro for serving their Club, and know that we all with them the best in their efforts to make membership a priority.
