5 NPC female past presidents to speak at Women's History Month panel March 1, 6 p.m.

On March 1 at 6 p.m., in the the Holeman Lounge, the National Press Club will celebrate Women's History Month with a panel discussion by five of the Club's female past-presidents.

The panel discussion will be moderated by 2012 NPC President Theresa Werner and will include Vivian Vahlberg (1982), Kay Vose (1991), Sylvia Smith (2008) and Donna Leinwand Leger (2009).

The event is free and open to the public. So we can get a headcount, please register for free here.

March is National Women’s History Month. The panel will talk about the significant contributions women have made throughout the years. The National Press Club did not admit women as members until 1971, and the club did not have its first female president until 1982.
