>> My name is Joshua Funk.
I'm the director of business development for the National Press Club in Washington D.C.
We're a communications venue.
So not only can you really give your message to those individuals that are inside the room,
but you can disseminate it to the rest of the world,
whether it's via satellite via webcasting via peer-to-peer conferencing and really bring any
of those individuals in at a moments notice.
My role here at the club, I oversee the banquet department, which executes all of the events,
and the events department, which is kind of the customer service and sales leg.
I'm basically a special projects guy.
Work on, you know, selling, marketing, advertising the club the as best I can
but also still have a foot in operations
to make sure that's running correctly and things of that nature.
