About the Nancy Armbrust Impact Award & Recipient Robyn Davis

Schreiber created the Nancy Armbrust Impact Award to honor Nancy Armbrust, a retired Schreiber executive, community advocate, and leader. The award is given annually to recognize an individual who, in the same spirit of Nancy, has had an indelible impact on the community.

The award, given in partnership with the Women’s Fund of Greater Green Bay and the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation, includes a grant of $5,000 to be given to the recipient’s nonprofit organization of choice through the Women’s Fund biannual grant cycle. The 2023 recipient, Robyn Davis, will be honored at the “Backstage with the Women’s Fund” event, where she will announce her nonprofit of choice to receive the $5,000 grant.

“We are honored to present Robyn Davis with the Nancy Armbrust Impact Award,” said Women’s Fund of Greater Green Bay President Lori Harris. “She is very deserving of this recognition, and we look forward to the continued positive impact she will have on our community for years to come.”

She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Hofstra University, as well as a Juris Doctor from the George Washington University School of Law.

She is a member of the Green Bay Packers Board of Directors, the Governor’s Equity and Inclusion Advisory Council, the Donald J.
