Learn about the presidential transition process on Friday

A lot must happen in the 76 days between Election Day and the inauguration to effectively transition to a new presidential administration.

Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute and the Partnership for Public Service for a virtual briefing that will help journalists understand the post-election milestones and planning requirements that presidents-elect must follow to ensure a smooth, effective transfer of power — and what happens when the incoming administration has not followed the traditional process. 

Registration is open for this free webinar, which will take place on Friday, Dec. 6, from 11 a.m. to noon.

Participants will hear from:

• Max Stier, founding president and CEO, Partnership for Public Service. Stier has worked previously in all three branches of the federal government, most recently at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, having served as the deputy general counsel for litigation. 
• Valerie Smith Boyd, director of the Partnership for Public Service’s Center for Presidential Transition. Smith Boyd leads the partnership’s efforts to support successful transition planning for current and future presidential administrations.
