Meet Michael Robinson, EFBC’s New Program Manager
We are excited to welcome Michael Robinson as the new Program Manager at the Entrepreneur and Family Business Council (EFBC) at DePaul.
Throughout his career, Michael has focused on creating environments where people can grow—not only as professionals, but as people. His work has always centered on building meaningful relationships, fostering connection, and helping individuals learn from one another.
In his role at EFBC, Michael supports the programs that are at the heart of our organization, including our Forum experience, board and committee coordination, and member engagement. His goal is simple: to ensure every member feels welcomed, supported, and connected throughout their EFBC journey. While much of his work happens behind the scenes, it all contributes to creating the kind of community that helps business leaders thrive.
Prior to joining EFBC, Michael served as Program Director at the North Carolina Center for Community and Justice, where he developed programs that brought together youth and adults from diverse backgrounds to explore identity, build understanding, and strengthen their ability to create more inclusive communities. Through education, dialogue, and shared experiences, he helped participants better understand themselves and one another.
That experience continues to shape his approach today. He believes meaningful growth happens when people feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to be challenged, and connected enough to learn from those around them—values that closely align with the EFBC Forum experience.
Michael’s philosophy is simple: people first, always. It is an approach that reflects the heart of EFBC and the relationships that make this community so meaningful.
Please join us in welcoming Michael Robinson to the EFBC community! We are excited for the perspective, care, and commitment he brings to our members, and we look forward to the relationships he will help cultivate in the years ahead.
