“Great result this week Robyn for a piece of work that has a lot of your innovative strategic thinking, frameworks and your professionalism over the final version. We talk here about ‘respecting the past but being relevant for the future’. The WRASP in its relatively short life since its 2014 inception is living that approach and working for the Waikato region. Territorial Authority CEO endorsement in December and now full Waikato Mayoral approval to adopt and fund on Monday. A big win for the sector; a positive step for evidence-based opportunities and decision making. Thanks again – we love working with you and the Lumin team."

She is an expert who keeps evolving her knowledge and relevance to keep pace with changing and challenging times, who uses a strong evidence base and produces work that even politicians understand!"

“This is a wonderful report. Beautifully presented but more to the point really positive and complimentary about the programme and very insightful on how leadership is developed. I will certainly use this as an exemplar for my own reporting.“

“The work Lumin has done to provide information on the state of sport, recreation and its relationship to health and wellbeing both locally (in Wellington) and nationally has been priceless to me. Robyn’s work was my introduction to the sport and recreation sector five years ago. She has continued to be my go to person for advice on women in sport leadership, teenage girls participation, innovation in the sport sector and strategy and planning. Robyn has played an integral part in my understanding of sport and recreation in New Zealand and I always enjoy being part of any training and development workshops she facilitates.”
