White House Correspondents' Association℠ OFFICERS AND BOARD
Since 1914, the White House Correspondents' Association℠ has operated independently of the White House and the White House credentialing process. We intend for the White House Correspondents' Association℠ to remain independent of that process.
Consistent with the First Amendment, the White House Correspondents' Association℠ stands for inclusiveness in the credentialing process so that the White House remains accessible to all journalists. We hope that individual episodes do not obscure the broader principles of a fair and evenhanded credentialing process that serves the goal of free and full exchange of information.

As part of their celebration, the Association hosted an event with former press secretaries of both the Clinton administration and the Ford administration, including Dee Dee Myers, Mike McCurry and Ron Nessen. They discussed their experiences in the White House, the difficulties of the job and how the position has changed over time.
