The Charles F. Kettering Foundation is thrilled to celebrate an incredible milestone achieved by one of our senior fellows, Kelley Robinson. The President of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) was named on the 2024 TIME list of the 100 Most Influential People in the world today. The list recognizes the impact, innovation, and achievement of the world’s most influential individuals.

Long a driving force for progressive change and hope, Robinson is a strategic leader who is dedicated to fighting injustice and realizing a more inclusive and equitable society. Her inclusion in the TIME100 is a testament to her unwavering commitment and the significant impact of her work. Robinson’s work at HRC focuses on amplifying underrepresented voices and addressing critical issues that affect marginalized communities. Her ability to mobilize support and foster collaboration among diverse groups has made a difference in the LGBTQ+ community—and beyond.

This recognition is well-deserved, highlighting Robinson as a true titan in her field. Her story is a powerful reminder that passionate commitment to a cause can indeed lead to profound influence and change. Congratulations, Kelley, on this honor! We are proud to have you as one of our senior fellows.
