Meet the Staff
Robin Leigh. Founder and President
Robin Leigh, CCG Alliance’s founder, is a 30-year veteran of real estate brokering and mentoring. A native of Boise, Idaho, and a resident of Scottsdale, Arizona, during her 3-decade span in realty she has listed and sold real estate, built and managed 2 real estate companies, written published articles and continues to appear as an expert on a variety of topics in press, radio and television.
Additionally, in 2013 Robin built her own premiere home staging company, Staged To Sell Design Services. A recent stage was featured in an HGTV production and Staged to Sell’s work appears in a wide variety of magazine and social media publications.
Robin clearly heard the emerging ‘Call To Action’ by well-known business leaders, charitable organizations and the media that small businesses and entrepreneurs must somehow incorporate social responsibility and charitable giving into their daily business activities. She recognizes the need for a concise plan of action to implement this ‘Call To Action’ that could be duplicated for any small business person or entrepreneur.
As a business person and a charitable activist, Robin created the CCG Alliance, a membership program that educates and supports sustained and planned charitable giving and social responsibility for its members.
The movement for all business people to become socially responsible and charitably involved is gaining tremendous momentum; it is the mission of the CCG Alliance to guide and inform its members in the best, most ethical and most effective practices to accomplish this mandate.
