Frank Sesno, an Emmy Award-winning journalist, author and education leader will be the featured guest for a National Press Club Communicators Legends Dinner on Tuesday, October 25.

Sesno directed the George Washington University’s School of Media and Public Affairs for 11 years and now serves as director of strategic initiatives. At GW, he founded Planet Forward in 2009 to launch the next generation of environmental storytellers and highlight transformative ideas for sustainability issues. He also focuses on disinformation campaigns and how news organizations need to understand and respond to this threat, serving as principal investigator at the Institute for Data, Democracy & Politics.

Sesno has more than 30 years of reporting experience around the world, including as an anchor, talk show host, White House correspondent, and Washington bureau chief at CNN. He has interviewed five U.S. presidents and thousands of political, business and civic leaders including Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates and Walter Cronkite.

He is the author of “Ask More: The Power Of Questions To Open Doors, Uncover Solutions, And Spark Change,” a frequent media commentator and event moderator, and has won several prestigious journalistic awards, including an Emmy, cable ACE awards and an Overseas Press Club Award.

Sesno will reminisce on his career with attendees, reflecting on lessons learned and the most pressing challenges he thinks communicators must address.

A three-course dinner with wine will be served for $62 per person. Cash bar reception begins at 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. Business attire.
