I've been a member of NPC for a year, and by far the best experience has been sitting at the head table, just 3 people away from the President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, as he addressed a packed luncheon crowd.

What’s your best experience thus far? I joined late this year so it has only been a few months; but I already think it's the best money I've ever spent. I loved going to the Embassy of Bangladesh. The food was so good and I took a selfie with the Ambassador. Tell us about your morning ritual. I usually go to sleep with lots of ideas flowing through my head so when I wake up I write immediately. I do my best writing before I even get…

I joined in February 2011 as a reward for finally landing a paying job in journalism, covering something I enjoyed and with compensation enough to pay for rent and beer. I have loved every minute of being a member, not in the least in treading the same marble and polishing the same 3-feet of mahogany as my father and grandfather. I had a really good time at last year's Press Club…

I've been a member since 2010. My best experience was, hands down, the National Press Club Centennial Spelling Bee in 2013, when we pit lawmakers against journalists---and winner Sen. Tim Kaine dedicated his victory to "poor male spellers everywhere." What's your favorite moment of your career so far? Taking selfies in the Air Force One bathroom. Unless that's frowned upon. In which case, speaking truth to…
