Republican Women of Clifton May meeting speakers will be Tom McDevitt, chairman of The Washington Times, and Steven Yeh, a strategic management consultant and senior economic advisor

CLIFTON, VA, May 6, 2013 – The Republican Women of Clifton (RWC) May meeting will feature Tom McDevitt, chairman of The Washington Times, who will speak about current media trends, and Steven Yeh, a strategic management consultant and senior economic advisor, who will present a unique view on how to shape US domestic, fiscal and monetary policy. The event will be on Wednesday, May 22, at the Fairview Elementary School, 5815 Ox Road, Fairfax Station, and the social hour will begin at 7:00 p.m. when refreshments will be served. President Alice Butler-Short will open the business meeting at 7:30 p.m., after which the speakers will present their topics and answer questions.

 Tom McDevitt is the chairman of The Washington Times (TWT) and the company’s Board of Directors after serving many years in various positions at the media organization. He became president of The Washington Times in March 2007 just prior to the company’s 25th anniversary and served in that position through October 2012. As chief executive officer, McDevitt was responsible for all aspects of the news and information for the company. He led TWT through an intensive period of strategic turnaround, national market alignment, and product line expansion reaching more than ten million regular readers throughout America. McDevitt speaks frequently to national and international audiences on media trends, principled leadership, and strategy.

 Steven Yeh is a strategic management consultant and senior economic advisor who has worked for leading global consultancies and businesses. He has a diverse background in finance, marketing and international business, integrated with psychology and sociology. Yeh understands that
the US economy is in trouble, with economic growth barely above a standstill, trillions in federal debt and spending that continues unabated. Socially, high unemployment, millions of people on food stamps and other direct aid and transfer payment programs, fuel an environment where those taxed cannot indefinitely sustain these programs. Some consider the national debt the single most pressing national security issue facing this nation. Yeh’s talk will explore the “What and What if’s” of our world and a unique view on how to shape US domestic, fiscal and monetary policy to bring about a return to a more sound economic state.

“As a veteran of the media, Tom McDevitt knows it is an important source of information for Americans, and that understanding today’s trends is vital to being a knowledgeable citizen,” said Butler-Short. “We are all very concerned about the U.S. economy with the government’s soaring debt and unsustainable spending, and we look forward to hearing Steven Yeh explain how America can return to a sound economic footing.” 

Attendance is open to RWC members and their guests, m
