Christine Robinson is a consummate professional. I have seen her
facilitate meetings with multiple stakeholders with grace and
aplomb and am impressed with her keen insight and strategic
capabilities. I have successfully referred her services to other
clients who have been pleased with her work. Two thumbs up.

Christine provides excellent advice and services at the intersection
of community and philanthropy. Her ability to strategically apply
her passion, knowledge, and experience to engage communities to
substantively address social issues is beyond compare. These
attributes enhance key processes, and more importantly, results.

Christine is an extremely insightful [and] intelligent expert on the broad and complex causes of poverty in the US
and the powerful routes out of poverty and into lives of economic security from childhood to adulthood. Few people
have Christine’s deep understanding of the linkages from infant brain neuron development to asset development in
adults. Christine is a great speaker, a great writer, a great organizer, a confident manager of groups,
and a great strategic thinker.

I was initially impressed with Christine Robinson’s enthusiasm, diligence, and professional demeanor when she was selected to serve as Project Director for the Executives’ AlliancePostsecondary Success Project for men and boys of color supported by the Lumina Foundation. Robinson worked seamlessly with foundation staff and leaders in each of the six cities. Moreover, . . . [she] nurtured collaborations within and between institutions in municipalities and regions, including government, nonprofits, and postsecondary collaboration. She brokered alliances between and among postsecondary institutions; building local networks of nonprofits, the public sector, data experts, and local advocacy efforts.
Robinson is a skilled facilitative leader, bringing a deep commitment to equity, inclusion, and listening. She skillfully facilitated [the] co-creation of many elements of systemic and policy change building upon the assets of communities who have traditionally been marginalized. She brings a strong research background and understanding of data, evaluation, and assessment and is skilled in balancing theory, research, and deep listening.
Robinson demonstrates strong interpersonal skills, the capacity to build synergy with foundations, and local and state government, co-create with constituents, and engage systems and structures across race, ethnicity, (dis)ability, LGBTQ identities, language, incarceration, and numerous intersectional identities. I recommend her enthusiastically.

Christine is a joy to work with. She is at once focused, deliberate, creative, funny, and indefatigable when it comes to
knowing the importance of solid research and evaluation to inform policy
in ways that improve the lives of vulnerable people.
It gives me great pleasure to recommend her.

I have had the opportunity to know and work with Christine Robinson for more than a decade and a half,
ever since she spearheaded the development of what would become CAAB, and then through ADD, SEED,
and her work to bring psychology and asset-building theory and practice together.
She is dedicated, thoughtful, creative, and a straight shooter.

Christine conducted research for us to support our thinking about our Community Building Curriculum,
and we’ve stayed in touch over the years. She interviewed many people in the field and was able to gather
candid reflections from people who knew our work and candid reactions from those who didn’t. She delivered
an in-depth report with creative recommendations. She’s a thoughtful, thorough practitioner who can
aptly advise her clients and peers.

Christine was used to facilitate brainstorming sessions and to
gather information from key stakeholders. She did an excellent
job of getting participants to give candid and useful ideas. She
was excellent at managing the process and moving things to [the] next
steps.
