WHCA Dinner

The White House Correspondents Dinner is a highly anticipated and important event held each year at the Washington Hilton Hotel. In order to raise money and fund many scholarships, the WHCA Dinner brings together highly influential members of journalism, politics, and Hollywood circles.

The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) is an organization of journalists who cover the White House and the president of the United States. The WHCA operates independently of the White House. Among the more notable issues handled by the WHCA are the credentialing process, access to the president and physical conditions in the White House press briefing rooms.

As the organisation's most high-profile activity, the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner is traditionally attended by the president of the United States and covered extensively by the news media.
