20th Anniversary Virginia Barton Wallace Award and Reception

In honor of the remarkable career of Virginia “Ginny” Barton Wallace, White and Williams LLP established the Virginia Barton Wallace Award in 2006. Ginny joined the firm immediately after graduating from University of Pennsylvania School of Law in 1950, and in 1961, Ginny became the first woman to be elected to partnership not only at White and Williams but also at any law firm in Philadelphia. The Award is presented to a woman or organization that embodies the same qualities that Ginny possessed: leadership, drive, exemplary work ethic, overall excellence in her field, or an ability to inspire other women to succeed.

This year, our Firm is honored to present this award to The Rendell Center for Civics & Civic Engagement, an organization started in 2014 by the Honorable Edward G. Rendell and the Honorable Marjorie Rendell to promote civic engagement and education in their communities.
