As a facilitative leader, Robinson brings a deep commitment to social justice, equity, systems change, and policy at the local, state, and national levels. With three decades of experience in building equitable systems, co-creating with stakeholders who have traditionally been marginalized, and forming enduring structures imbued with equity, she is grounded in the importance of community partnership. She has worked to ensure civic engagement, build community, forge collaborative ventures among systems leaders and grassroots groups, build upon empirical data, provide technical assistance, and improve communities’ outcomes across the U.S.  

Robinson brings first-hand knowledge of governance, building boards, and organizations from the ground up. She brings decades of experience identifying strategic entry points and investment selection, having served on numerous proposal review committees as a program officer, senior program officer, and founder of multiple foundation collaboratives. This combination of systems, policy, advocacy, and program experience spans cultures, languages, sectors, geography, communities, and institutions. Her experience includes leading programs from strategy development to implementation, followed by impact assessments. As a result, she has proficiency in team building, strategic planning, evaluation, and organizational capacity building. She brings extensive experience in nonprofit management and leadership, having coached, served on, and led numerous boards. Her work has moved several systems and networks far beyond their initial goals (references available). She maintains contact with many foundations, universities, research centers, nonprofit, and thought leaders from local, state, regional, national organizations and government agencies. Her approach is to listen deeply, include those most directly affected, act as a servant leader, build upon constituent interests, develop data-driven, evidence- and place-informed strategies, and work toward high performance1. Recent clients include the Ford Foundation, the Lumina Foundation, the Annie E. Casey  Foundation, and the New England Grassroots Environment Fund. 

As a LEAP ambassador, Robinson is a member of a small international community of nonprofit and civic leaders, funders, and public servants who share a core commitment to the nonprofit and public sector’s high performance. We are engaged in thought leadership,  consultation, collaboration, and building requisite tools to strengthen these vital sectors’ capacity. Recent products include a comparative analysis of promising models in select municipalities across the U.S. to ensure postsecondary persistence and completion among marginalized populations. Robinson has worked closely with numerous efforts to improve children and families’ outcomes, build education systems, structure community-based nonprofits, structure K-12 school systems, build the capacity of nonprofits, and connect historically marginalized families to emerging opportunities. If needed, additional consultants can be brought into this endeavor, and resumes would be provided.  

1 High performance is the ability to deliver- over a prolonged period of time – meaningful, measurable, and financially sustainable results for the people or causes the organization is  in existence to serve.
