White House Social Secretary Leaving

Desiree Rogers, the White House Social Secretary who was criticized for her role in a security lapse, will leave her job next month. During a state dinner for the Indian Prime Minister last November, a couple without invitations was able to evade security and crash the party.

Rogers says she'll explore opportunities in the corporate world. President and Mrs. Obama praised Rogers' work.
