Malden community leader Robin Jorgenson honored in Annual Commonwealth Heroine Celebration

State Representative Steven Ultrino (D-Malden) and his office celebrated Robin Jorgenson as she was named to the Commonwealth Heroine Class of 2023 of the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women (MCSW). Every year the MCSW honors women who strive to make a difference and improve the lives of others within their community. These Commonwealth Heroines are leaders, mentors, volunteers and innovators who dedicate their time and efforts to protect and better the lives of those in need.

The Representative is proud to have nominated Jorgenson for this honor in recognition of her dedication, compassion and service to the Malden community. Robin Jorgenson has been a lifelong public educator and community activist in Malden. She served as President of the Malden Kiwanis Club and continues to devote her efforts to children and families across the community by helping organize the annual Christmas Basket Drive and the Bubbles and Books projects. Over the years, she has remained active through her church and the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Her compassion, kindness and commitment to charity are qualities that inspire many in the Malden community and reflect the values of a true Commonwealth Heroine.

“Robin’s work over the years can only be described as selfless and truly impactful,” said Representative Ultrino. “She has brought the Malden community closer and always placed the needs of others ahead of herself. I would like to congratulate her on this wonderful recognition and we are very fortunate to have Maldonians like her who are committed to making this city a better and more inclusive community for everyone.”

The MCSW hosted a celebration of all Commonwealth Heroines Class of 2023 honorees at the State House on June 23, 2023. Additional information on this year’s Commonwealth Heroines can be found on Mass.gov listed under Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women and Press Releases.
