Desiree Rogers is stepping down.

The President and First Lady issued a statement thanking Ms. Rogers for her work, which included organizing hundreds of events for the year she has been working as White House Social Secretary and Special Assistant to the President. She has been criticized for her high profile which has culminated in several glossy magazine spreads. The loudest detractions, however, occurred  after a couple of gate crashers were allowed access to a state dinner. Rogers has told the press that she had accomplished her goals.
