White House Social Aide

Military social aides are employed by the White House, and their duties range from escorting dignitaries to making small talk with visitors who are dancing alone or providing a companion during social events. The President of the United States has three social assistants assigned to him whenever he receives guests: the "whispering aide," who whispers the guest's name to the President; the "introducing aide," who formally introduces the guest to the President; and the "pulling off aide," who politely asks the guest to leave after the President indicates that the conversation is over.
