Qualifications for the award include serving in government offices, accomplishing professional endeavors, successfully raising a family and volunteering in civic and/or church organizations.

Robb was nominated by the Canfield Republican Women’s Club, where she has been a supportive member for years and has spoken to the group on several occasions. The club also has witnessed her care for the community, the party and the country.
