Without the people who work and run the National Press Club, we really are nothing more than bricks and mortar. The Club’s dedicated staff, and distinguished board members, share a commitment to informing the public debate and protecting media freedom.

President & Directors

The National Press Club is proud to have some of Australia’s leading journalists and newsmakers guiding its operations.

President Tom Connell and his board of directors are impassioned personal champions of media freedom and believe in the Club’s integral role in defending those freedoms. The board is committed to maintaining – and growing – the National Press Club’s key function as a forum for political and policy debates.
