About Us
Dawn Robbins & Associates make things happen through strategic partnerships and targeted communiqués. Founder Dawn Robbins has spawned a host of successful community collaborations and developed countless materials for the web, radio, television, and newspaper. She has parlayed the kernel of an idea into the national, award-winning Make It Your Business campaign and helped clients shape messages and campaigns.
Dawn’s enthusiasm, strategic approach, and top-notch associates can transform a punchy flyer into an organizing lever or a day-long summit into a self-sustaining action corps. 
The Performance Partnership Model, a simple structure for addressing complex problems, guides her group work. She helped devise the model during the 1990s as a cost-effective way to leverage creative solutions between unconventional partners. Now, she convenes and facilitates these partnership efforts.
A longtime resident of Portland, Oregon, Dawn specializes in health, with experience in public health, mental health, and the health care delivery system. She also has done work for clients ranging from The Wetlands Conservancy to the World Bank.
