Manassas, VA – The NRB Convention will feature a presentation by Tony Perkins during the General Session, on Monday, March 1, at NRB 2010. Perkins is the President of the Family Research Council, in Washington, D.C.
Dr. Frank Wright, NRB President & CEO said, “Tony always provides the kind of insights that expand our understating of how public policy impacts our most basic freedoms.”
Tony Perkins is a former member of the Louisiana legislature where he served for eight years, and he is recognized as a legislative pioneer for authoring measures like the nation's first Covenant Marriage law. Although he had no opposition for re-election, he kept his pledge to serve only two terms and left office at the completion of his term in 2004. Perkins was also a Republican candidate for the United States Senate in 2002. Since joining the Family Research Council (FRC) in the fall of 2003 he has launched new initiatives to affirm and defend the Judeo-Christian values upon which this nation is founded. Perkins and FRC have led the way in defending religious freedom in the public square, protecting the unborn and their mothers, defending and strengthening one man/one woman marriage, and promoting pro-family public policy. He hosts a regular national radio program, Washington Watch Weekly, broadcasts a daily commentary heard on over 300 stations nationwide, and sends daily email updates to tens of thousands of grassroots activists. He is co-author of the book Personal Faith, Public Policy. An effective communicator, Perkins frequently appears on national broadcast and cable news programs. A veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, and a former police officer and television news reporter, he brings a unique blend of experience and leadership to the pro-family movement. Perkins received his undergraduate degree from Liberty University and a Master's Degree from Louisiana State University in Public Administration.
