Named for Susan B. Anthony’s father and ardent supporter of her efforts, the 2022 Daniel Anthony Award celebrates a man who has given critical support to a female public leader or leaders. WPLN is honored to present the Daniel Anthony Award to Rob Rieger at our Women’s Public Leadership Summit. Rieger has consistently worked in his community to support women leaders and serve as an example of how to be an effective supporter of women’s leadership, including in his support of WPLN’s Louisiana training partner, Louisiana Women Lead. Rieger is a Partner at law firm Adams and Reese LLP in Baton Rouge. He advises clients in government relations and related litigation matters in Louisiana and Washington, D.C.

WPLN is also thrilled to present Julianne Condrey with the 2022 Architect of Society Award. Inspired by Harriett Beecher Stowe’s words that, “Women are the real architects of society,” this award is presented to a woman who exemplifies the qualities of center-right public leader: effective, principled, and a true public servant. Throughout her career working in government relations and on a variety of campaigns to currently serving as the Chief of Staff of Virginia Lt. Governor, Winsome Sears, and in her efforts to support and elevate women through her work with the Virginia Conservative Women’s Coalition, Condrey has represented of all these qualities and more.

“Both Rob and Julianne are incredible examples of what it means to advocate for women in your community,” said Larissa Martinez, President and Co-Founder of WPLN. ”We are honored to present these awards to them and recognize the work they have done to create more opportunity for women seeking to be engaged in politics at every level.”
