Association of Republican Presidential Appointee's Annual Christmas Party
We’re hosting our 6th annual Christmas celebration for presidential appointees on Saturday, December 5th, 2026, at the historic Decatur House, located on the northwest corner of Lafayette Square next to the White House.
Tickets include . . .
Open Bar
Heavy Hors d'Oeuvres
Coffee, Hot Chocolate, & Dessert Station
Gift Bag w/ Free Copies of "Maxims: A Presidential Appointee Handbook"
House Tours
Three Hours of Appointee Networking
We are reserving 90% of the tickets for current appointees (sorry, no plus-ones at this time).
Exceptions are allowed if . . .
You're an appointee in President Trump's administration but leave between now and when the party occurs, provided you bought your ticket while still an appointee.
You're a former Republican appointee but are currently working full-time for the U.S. government. We want you there because we want current appointees to know you.
You're a former Republican appointee and become a member of our Host Committee. These opportunities are limited to no more than 10% of the total capacity of Decatur House. This means out of 300 spots available, 270 will go to current appointees only. Of the 30 tickets left available, less than 20 remain.
The purpose isn’t to leave anyone out, but to make sure those in the fight and serving in President Trump’s administration have the opportunity to gather and build connections in a private space, among their peers throughout the Executive Branch.
If interested in being on the Host Committee, email us at events@gopappointees.org for more information.
Additional Notes:
We will confirm appointee status prior to finalizing ticket sales, which is why when you register we ask for your LinkedIn profile. If you do not have one, then email us at events@gopappointees.org from your work email saying you're registering and we'll approve the RSVP.
This our sixth year doing this . . . tickets always sell out. Getting yours now helps ARPA as we need to cover event costs in advance and guarantees you'll be able to attend.
We appreciate additional donations which can be made at www.gopappointees.org/donate
Tickets are non-refundable.
