Join us Wednesday, November 12 at Champions Run Country Club for a luncheon that promises to be as enlightening as it is timely. Our buffet opens at 11:00 AM, and the program begins at 11:45 AM.

In a world where politics, business, and public perception collide daily, understanding how to navigate Washington’s shifting power landscape has never been more critical. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Brody Mullins—veteran Wall Street Journal reporter and author of The Wolves of K Street—will take us behind the scenes of how influence really works in D.C.

His presentation, “Advocacy in an Age of Division: What YOU Need to Know,” pulls back the curtain on how companies and associations are adapting to new challenges from both sides of the political aisle—and what leaders can learn from their playbook.

Brody’s upcoming book, The Battle Over Bigness, explores how Donald Trump and populist Republicans are redefining corporate America’s relationship with government—and what it means for anyone involved in advocacy today.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain firsthand insight from one of the nation’s top political observers.

ABOUT OUR SPEAKER
Brody Mullins, Author & Investigative Reporter


Brody Mullins is a Pulitzer-prize winning investigative reporter and author of The Wolves of K Street: The Secret History of How Big Money Took Over Big Government.

The book, published by Simon & Schuster is the definitive account of the rise of corporate power and lobbying in government. His next book, The Battle Over Bigness, documents how Donald Trump is teaming up with populist Republicans and progressive Democrats to rein in industries from Big Tech to Wall Street while threatening to unravel the pro-business alliance that had existed in Washington from Ronald Reagan until now. 

In two decades as an investigative reporter for The Wall Street Journal, Brody wrote scores of ground-breaking stories about the intersection of business and politics, exposing scandals that prompted new laws and regulations for powerful government officials, lobbyists and Wall Street. 

In addition to the Pulitzer Price, Brody won the George Polk Award and has twice won the Everett Dirksen Award for best coverage of Congress. Washingtonian calls him one of the 50 Best Reporters in Politics. He has appeared on Fox, CNN, MSNBC, and his work has been published by The Washington Post, New York Times, Vanity Fair, Politico and The Atlantic

Brody grew up in Washington D.C., and graduated from Gonzaga College High School and Northwestern University. He lives there with his wife, two daughters, and son.
