Exploring business growth, economic stability, and career options further validates the significance of the Fellowship Open and we excitedly welcome Dee aboard!”
Robinson has been recognized and awarded not only for her business acumen and tremendous corporate success but for preserving the highest industry standards while expanding and engaging communities of color. Robinson Hill’s commitment to excellence, world class service, and exceptional customer satisfaction is firmly rooted in the traditions instilled by Dee’s mother Helen Hill, for whom the Robinson Hill firm is named.
“I am truly pleased and tremendously honored to be recognized by the Fellowship Open for my service to the community,” said Robinson. “This is especially meaningful to me because the Fellowship Open’s mission of urban youth empowerment is so closely aligned to my own. The organization’s tireless work to raise money and support community and faith-based, youth-serving organizations and initiatives is nothing short of inspirational. To be recognized by the Fellowship Open is a monumental honor and I am deeply moved.”
