The President’s Club meeting is our highly anticipated annual gathering in Washington, DC, for members who give at the President’s Club level or higher. This fall, the three-day event began with a welcome reception for all President’s Club members to mingle with each other and with Heritage staff. The next two days were filled with panels and discussions featuring some of America’s top conservative policy experts, commentators, lawmakers, and journalists. The highlight of this year’s meeting was our President’s Club Dinner featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning Syndicated Columnist and Commentator Charles Krauthammer.
