Leadership Team

The PSGLC Leadership Team is a 100% volunteer group that meets once a month. Its members include:

Robynne Ingham
Director

Robynne was born in Kansas City, MO in 1964, and later lived in Cody WY, Bozeman MT and Minneapolis, MN. It was there that she joined Xerox Corporation and began a sales career that spanned over 25 years and included positions at Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer Animal Health. 

Robynne was officially diagnosed with PD in the Spring of 2021 about 6 weeks after taking a new sales job in Fort Collins, CO. She was terminated 2 weeks later. At 56 she decided to “retire.” The PD meds are helping with her tremors. Most days, she has her usual positive attitude and smile on her face despite the challenges that others can’t see.

Robynne married her partner of two years in September of 2022. Her wife teaches high school math in the Poudre School District. She now has twin daughters who are freshman at the University of Arizona in Tucson.  Her sons, now 27 and 30 years old, live and work in the greater Denver area. She is enjoying life with her wife in Fort Collins with their four dogs!
