Give the award of a lifetime!!  Every year, Robinson PTA has the opportunity to select 2 individuals to recognize with a Texas PTA Honorary Lifetime Membership Award, which is one of Texas PTA’s highest form of recognition. These are awarded to folks who go above and beyond for the good of the school, all students and their families/communities. This year, help us recognize 2 more individuals by nominating them for this prestigious award.

  Sadaf Abdullah

I am an intellectual property attorney and I currently work as the Director of Patent Assertion at the telecommunications company Ericsson. I am also an adjunct professor at a couple of local professional schools. In addition to my work and involvement with the PTA, I serve on our neighborhood's HOA board and on the boards of several professional organizations. In the bit of free time I have left over, I enjoy traveling with our family, listening to true crime podcasts, and riding my Peloton bike. 

 

I am the Reflections Chair this year for the Robinson PTA. I have served as PTA President for 2023-2024 at Daffron Elementary and I was the VP of Communications prior to that. My PTA work has been one of the most rewarding experiences I've had as a mom. It is truly amazing how much our PTA supports our school and its activities, and I hope to help continue this strong tradition in the coming years. I have a seventh grader at Robinson, a 4th grader at Daffron, and a Kindergartener at Daffron. We are very committed to our schools' communities.
