Learn how to "Aim High" with former Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James at May 30 book event

As Secretary of the U.S. Air Force under President Barack Obama, Deborah Lee James says she "served as CEO” of a 660,000-person, $139 billion enterprise. She will discuss her experiences at the highest levels of the U.S. Armed Forces and her new book, “Aim High: Chart Your Course and Find Your Success” at a National Press Club Headliners Book Event at 10 a.m. Thursday, May 30.

It will take place in the conference rooms and will feature a moderated discussion with the author, an audience Q&A session and a book signing.

Tickets cost $5 for Club members and $10 for non-members. Tickets can be purchased online.

When buying tickets, you will also have the option of buying a book. Books will be available for pick up and signing at the event. You may also purchase a copy of the book at the event.

Proceeds from the book sales will benefit the National Press Club Journalism Institute, the non-profit affiliate of the Club, so the Institute asks that you leave all outside books at home.
