The Denver Business Journal named Robin the 2007 Non-Profit Business Woman of the Year, and in 2006, she won the prestigious “Charles R. Hook” award, which recognizes outstanding leadership in the growth and development of a JA area.  In 2003, the Girl Scouts-Mile-Hi Council honored Robin as a Woman of Distinction.  She has been a delegate on Colorado trade missions to the United Kingdom, South America, and the Czech Republic.

Junior Achievement earned the MetLife Entrepreneurial Achievement Award in both 2004 and 2006.  In 2001, the Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce named JA the Non-Profit of the Year.
