Robin has spent the last 27 years in the hospitality industry. 17 of those years have been with RLH
Corporation, were she started out as Director of Sales & Catering for one of the small hotels in Twin
Falls, Idaho. With the ambition to grow and seek higher goals, she accepted a position in Olympia
WA as their Director of Sales. Upon arrival, she went straight to work transforming the performance
of the hotel and bringing in new streams of revenue to one of the most honored properties in the
RLHC portfolio. Robin then briefly assisted the wind down of the Vancouver WA property, before
accepting a position with the National Sales office for Red Lion Corporation. Robin had the honor to
follow in the steps of our very own Sharon Danitschek when she left RLHC to pursue her dream with

weather”…. calling Olympia WA home where she lives with her fiancé and has two children 20 and
21 years old.
