We asked 2011 NPC President Mark Hamrick to reminisce about his year in office and what he saw as the most memorable moments. Highlights include hosting Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke, World Press Freedom Day and former GOP candidate Herman Cain - soon after news broke of his alleged improprieties.
NASCAR superstar Danica Patrick will address a National Press Club luncheon event on February 21, 2012. She'll speak about her career and her preparations for the 2012 Indianapolis 500.
The Newsmakers and International Correspondents committees have teamed up to co-sponsor a panel discussion Monday, Feb. 13, at noon on ``America's New Focus on Asia: A Conversation with CSIS Scholars on Regional Security Issues."
The event in the Murrow Room will feature three scholars on the Asian region from the Center for Strategic and International Studies who will discuss a wide range of timely issues including nuclear deterrence, balance of power, climate change and disaster response, with emphasis on China, India and Iran.
The panelists are:
The NPC’s beloved painting, “Norman Rockwell Visits a Country Editor,” is on its way home after spending the past year traveling to Brooklyn, N.Y., El Paso, Texas, Stockbridge, Mass., and Rochester, N.Y.
The painting was part of the highly popular exhibit, “Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera,” sponsored by the Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Mass. The exhibit, which offered new perspectives on Rockwell’s creative process and his intensive use of photography, was greatly enriched by the inclusion of NPC's “Country Editor,” and it was viewed by thousands of people at each venue.
Jack Abramoff, author of the book “Capitol Punishment: The Hard Truth About Washington Corruption From America’s Most Notorious Lobbyist,” for the first time will come together in public with a reform leader dedicated to repairing the world Abramoff exploited.

The NPC's Press Freedom Committee hosts a panel to examine the latest Mideast trends on repression of expression on Tuesday, Feb. 14 at 9:30am in the National Press Club’s Fourth Estate Restaurant.
More than a year ago, uprisings in several Mideast countries triggered what has come to be called the Arab Spring. But when it comes to freedom of the press and the Internet, it has been a chilling period in many parts of the region. Reporters and citizens have been spied on, beaten, imprisoned and even killed merely for telling the truth about what is happening in their countries.
