Member Spotlight: Congratulations to Shawny Robey
October 2025Recipient, Business and Industry Award Sarasota Branch of the NAACP
We're proud to celebrate our IWF Sister and Board Member, Shawny Robey, who was honored with the Business and Industry Award at the NAACP Sarasota Branch 40th Anniversary Freedom Awards Gala!
Now in its 40th year, this milestone event serves as the chapter's premier fundraiser--recognizing individuals and organizations whose extraordinary contributions embody the NAACP's enduring mission of equality, empowerment, and community leadership.
With this year's theme, "Moving Forward Together," the gala paid tribute to leaders who are breaking barriers, building bridges, and lifting our community through service and advocacy.
Despite facing a challenging year that included a full team transition, Shawny's unwavering dedication to her organization, clients, and community shines through. Her recognition reflects both her resilience and her commitment to creating pathways to healing and recovery for others.
Please congratulate Shawny for this well-deserved honor and for the meaningful impact she continues to make across our region.
