LIMITLESS AMBITION TEAM
Alicia Robinson
Founder & Executive Director
Dream-Believe-Achieve isn't just Limitless Ambition’s motto, it's the mindset that fuels Executive Director, Alicia Robinson. Alicia began with a dream of empowering a generation of young women that could one day change the world. She believed in this dream so much that she gave up a life of comfortable security to pursue her passion and truly impact the lives of thousands.
Alicia took the seed of an idea and grew it into a fully functioning nonprofit organization that has already begun to change the way young women dream of their future. She personally has taken a path to prove that you can overcome pain to pursue passion. Alicia has her Master’s Degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Kent State University with a concentration in positive youth development and nonprofit studies. Her areas of research are African American women, their levels of motivation, and the contextual influences that make them academically successful.
Additionally, Alicia serves as the Director of Community Engagement and Partnerships at Summit Education Initiative. In this role, she establishes, improves, and maintains the processes, goals, and expectations related to SEI’s results-based facilitation activities. Alicia also currently serves on the Greater Akron Chamber Women’s Leadership Council, The United Way of Summit County Board of Directors and Planned ParentHood Advocates of Ohio Board of Directors.
Her work has not gone unnoticed. She has won various awards including the 2020 Kent State University College of Education Recent Alumni Award, 2020 Athena Young Professional Award, 2019 Akron Women's Network Emerging Leader Award, the 2019 Crain's Cleveland Notable Women in Entrepreneurship Award and the 2017 Greater Akron Chamber 30 for the Future Award. Limitless Ambition also just recently received the 2021 National Association of Social Workers Agency of the year award! She continues to be a living example that no vision is too small or impossible when you dream, believe, and achieve without limits!
