Robyne Beaubien

Robyne Beaubien is the NM MainStreet Promotions Program Associate. Growing up she wanted to be a celebrity chef, but scrapped that plan after figuring out she was better at band-aid application and fire alarm testing than cooking. In her early twenties, she started working with churches and other non-profits creating marketing products and events. That evolved into developing programming, implementation plans, marketing strategies, and training leaders, as well as speaking at events and conferences. 25 years later, she is still speaking, writing, training and working with non-profits, churches, and small businesses. Robyne says that she loves helping each unique organization find new ways to tell their story. She currently works mainly with MainStreet organizations in image development, event development, and media relations. She is a certified National Main Street Manager and has spoken at three National Main Street Conferences. In her spare time, Robyne is a DIY junkie and has never met a piece of furniture, or a wall, that she didn't want to paint.
