Robin McKinney Returns to Merrie-Woode!
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we announce our newest CMW Senior Staff member Robin McKinney. She will join the team in late April as our new Director of Development and Alumnae Relations. Given Robin’s history as a former camper, 1996 Captain, and former counselor, along with owning a dog named Tajar, it wasn’t a matter of if Robin would someday work at Merrie-Woode, but when.
Robin attended Davidson College before getting her Juris Doctorate at the University of Florida’s Levin College of Law in 2004. She has been a practicing attorney in Florida since 2004 with a focus on local government law. Like other members of the Senior Staff who have moved into camp administration from other professional fields (engineering, education, computer science, marine ecology), Robin is very excited about bringing her unique talents to this very important position.
Robin has made a practice of being involved in her community through the Junior League and a variety of other worthwhile charitable organizations. Through these experiences, she found that she enjoyed development work and realized what a difference her efforts were making in her community. The fulfillment she received from the charitable work she has done led her to pursue this opportunity in development at the camp that she loves so much. Robin enjoys playing tennis, paddling, hiking, the outdoors, and her dog Tajar, of course.
She will be responsible for planning and managing the fundraising and development efforts of the Foundation in accordance with the Strategic Plan, including the coordination of major elements of the Centennial with primary responsibility for Centennial events scheduled for the summer of 2018! Join us in sending out a big Boo Whoop and Merrie-Woode welcome to Robin!
