We welcome our newest ARCS MWC member Robyn Smith! Robyn is sponsored by Michelle Francis. 

Robyn was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Post graduation, she spent seven years at Electric Boat in Groton, CT, working in structural engineering, process improvement, and new business development. 

While on maternity leave with her oldest daughter, her family moved to San Diego. She devoted her time there to raising her two young daughters. Several years later, her family relocated to Basel, Switzerland. There, her volunteer work included supporting a clothing pantry for young mothers, leading a Daisy Girl Scout troop for many years, and taking advantage of the opportunity to travel the world as much as possible with her family. 

Six years ago, Robyn returned to the United States and settled in McLean. She has spent her free time supporting the Langley PTSA, Share of McLean Food Pantry, and her children’s athletic programs. Past leadership roles have included serving as a Family Network co-lead for the PTSA and as Events Lead on the Langley Crew Board. Robyn currently serves on the Board of Directors at Share of McLean Food Pantry, where she oversees the Back-to-School and Holiday programs as well as the Teen After-School Volunteer Program. In addition, she recently joined Shepherd Center as a volunteer driver. These roles have strengthened Robyn’s commitment to supporting our community.

Her daughters are now both in university. Robyn’s husband, Rob, has been with General Dynamics for over 30 years!

Robyn attended the ARCS MWC 55-Year Anniversary Celebration. Her appreciation for the ARCS mission has grown through meeting and conversations with several friends who are actively involved in MWC.
