My final day at Washington Week will likely be Friday, February 24.

Past that, serving on this capability has additionally allowed me the extraordinary alternative to honor the life and legacy of Gwen Ifill, an iconic journalist and the longtime Washington Week moderator who cherished this system and personally mentored me and so many different ladies.

I will not neglect in regards to the time, dedication, dedication and onerous work that all the Washington Week workforce and our wonderful visitors of reporters put into making the previous two years so profitable. Our skill to cowl the information and make it digestible for the strong PBS viewers has been exceptional and for that, I owe you all a debt of gratitude.

And as I step away from Washington Week, I hope this isn’t a goodbye however moderately a goodbye—as I hope to see you all on the following large story.
