The NPC's 2020 President Michael Freedman had the daunting challenge of leading the club during the coronavirus pandemic. In this edition of Update-1, Freedman discusses with Broadcast Podcast Committee member Irv Chapman how the club suspended all in-person services in March and then successfully pivoted to virtual newsmaker and headliner interviews, conducting more than 40 virtual events and in the process booking guests who normally would not have been available. He also talks about how the club's virtual inaugural this Saturday, when Lisa Matthews will be sworn-in as the 114th president, is also a charity event, and why maintaining the club's morale and membership during the pandemic have been top accomplishments.
