About the Dinner

Funds raised by this annual dinner support scholarships for highly qualified, ambitious student leaders to attend our transformational TFAS D.C. Summer Programs track on Business + Government Relations. This comprehensive program includes: courses on economics and government relations for transferable credit; guaranteed internships with government affairs offices of notable corporations, trade associations and lobbying firms in the D.C. area; and unparalleled access to networking and professional development opportunities including special guest lectures, site briefings, a mentorship program and more.

My favorite part of this program was having the opportunity to learn on a day-by-day basis from professionals in the government relations industry because it is only through effective advocacy that we can ensure government policies reflect private citizen’s interests.” – EDGAR VELASCO, INTERN, METLIFE

85% of our exceptional students would be unable to attend our programs without your generosity. Thanks to sponsors and attendees like you, the dinner has raised over $5 million since 1990. Yet the need is growing. Help us say “yes” to more of our impressive applicants in 2020, regardless of their financial ability.
