What’s your best experience thus far? I've been a member since Derek Wallbank convinced me to join in December 2015, although I had a few memberships when I was interning in DC in college. My first introduction to the club was through Rick Dunham when I was interning for the Houston Chronicle. Hard to say what my best experience was, but one that stands out is when Jason Rezaian came to the club after he was released. I wasn'…

How long have you been a member of the NPC? What’s your best experience thus far? I’ve been a member since 2009. Hands down, I love the newsmaker luncheons. Not only do they give you a chance to hear policymakers and change agents, but we also have a chance to ask them questions. And the others at the table are generally very interesting. I try to attend them whenever I can. Of the luncheons I’ve attended, two stand out, and I…

I've been a member at the National Press Club since 2012. It's so hard to pick a favorite moment — I ate lunch two seats away from Mariska Hargitay of Law and Order SVU, sat at the head table during Donald Trump's luncheon, ate the best lobster risotto in the world at the Fourth Estate, loved every second of two Beat The Deadline 5Ks and have had more than my share of free tacos at the Club’s…
