About Linda Robinson
Linda Robinson was a woman ahead of her time who entered the Specialty Advertising industry when only a handful of women were in the business. She took advantage of every educational opportunity offered by the industry to build a successful business, earning not only the respect of her peers, but attracting many friends throughout the years. She played a major role in shaping the growth of SAAGNY, including a term as President and was well on her way to making an impact on the Board of PPAI. Linda was a compelling, fair-minded individual, a gifted professional who truly loved the challenge of the sale. Her generous nature allowed her to share with others the wealth of information that she acquired over the years. She distinguished herself as a leader, a teacher and a mentor.
Linda was an outstanding individual endowed with vision, talent, imagination, and courage. Her legacy to the industry is perpetuated by the Linda Robinson Scholarship Fund, which the SAAGNY Board of Directors established in 1995 after her untimely death.
