Conway Reinders

Before Princeton, Conway served as a nonpartisan policy analyst in the federal government for seven years. Based in Washington, D.C., he staffed the Social Security Advisory Board, a bipartisan board of political appointees that advises policymakers on the social insurance and means‐tested programs administered by the Social Security Administration. Much of his work focused on reducing administrative burdens in the disability benefit application process. Conway graduated magna cum laude from George Washington University, where his senior thesis, which measured multidimensional poverty in the United States by nativity status, received special honors and earned him a one-year research assistantship with the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative at the University of Oxford. In 2022, he was elected to the National Academy of Social Insurance. In his free time, Conway enjoys documentaries, Pilates, and hiking, and has served as a volunteer tax preparer. Conway recently completed his work placement as a Summer Policy Fellow at the Leadership Center for Attorney General Studies.
