EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy to address Club luncheon, Monday, Nov. 21

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy will speak at a National Press Club luncheon on Monday, Nov. 21.

Under McCarthy's leadership, the EPA helped penalize Volkswagen for cheating on diesel emissions, promoted a sweeping federal rule to cut carbon dioxide emission from power plants and played an active role in implementing international climate agreements.

McCarthy also admitted that EPA placed too much trust in Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality, the main culprit for the Flint water crisis.

Lunch will be served at 12:30 p.m., with remarks beginning at 1 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. Tickets must be paid for at the time of purchase.

For questions, please email [email protected] or call (202) 662–7501.

Club members who wish to attend the pre-luncheon reception must RSVP separately to [email protected] 48 hours before 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 MCCARTHY in the subject line and email to [email protected] before 10 a.m. on the day of the luncheon.
