Robyn Stone has been recognized as a veteran in the field of aging services who is “setting the standards, driving change, providing guidance, and inspiring us all.”

Stone, senior vice president of research at LeadingAge and co-director of the LeadingAge LTSS Center @UMass Boston, received the McKnight’s Pinnacle Award on March 7. The Pinnacle Awards, presented for the first time this year, will honor 30 individuals in six categories. Stone will be recognized as an “Industry Ally.”

“This is a very significant honor for me to be recognized by the sector to which I have given my entire career,” says Stone. “While I have received professional honors in the past related to my research and policy work, to be honored as an ally of the organizations that deliver services and supports to older adults every day is the NorthStar of my career. It means that I have truly made a difference.”
