About The Dispatch: At a time of growing industry uncertainty and an alarming erosion of civic discourse, The Dispatch stands out as a platform for thoughtful coverage, respectful dialogue and a wildly engaged community of paying members. We bring a perspective – we’re conservatives, classical liberals, libertarians – but we’re fiercely independent, standing apart from media outlets increasingly engaged in partisan boosterism.
Valerie Smith is the Director of Talent and Operations at The Dispatch based in Washington, D.C. Prior to joining the company in 2019, she served as a chief of staff to a non-profit in Illinois. When Valerie is not helping to run the operations of The Dispatch, she is probably wrangling her two daughters or antiquing.
