The Desk
Submitted. Then asked, or answered.
Every admitted member is assigned a delegate. That delegate submits your questions to the White House. When the question is strong and there is an opening, it is asked on camera, under your name. You receive a response either way.
01
You are assigned a delegate.
Admission comes with a desk. One delegate. That is who receives your questions. Strangers do not file.
02
You submit a question.
One question, written to be asked. It goes to your delegate, not into a void.
03
It is submitted.
Your delegate takes the members’ list to the appropriate person at the White House. Every question you file is submitted.
04
On camera, or a response.
When the question is strong and there is an opening, it is asked at a briefing, in front of the cameras, under your name. If it is not asked, you still receive a response.
The weekly record
Members see the work.
Admitted members see what was submitted, what was asked on camera, and the response that came back. A question that was asked is reported with the member’s name.
The table at right is a specimen of how that record reads. It is not a live filing and not a claim that these questions were asked.

The boundary, repeated because it matters
NWHCA membership is affiliation with a private association. It does not confer, sell, or guarantee access to the White House, the Brady Briefing Room, the grounds, or any federal facility. A member’s questions are submitted to the White House by that member’s delegate. A response comes back. An on-camera question depends on the strength of the question and the opening.
