Executive Director
Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center
Robin Hassler Thompson, M.A., J.D., is the Executive Director of the Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center (STAC), an anti-trafficking non-profit she helped to co-found in 2015. She is an active member of the Big Bend Coalition Against Human Trafficking. In 2001 she traveled to Bangladesh on a U.S. State Department mission, which included a visit to a trafficking rescue shelter in Dhaka. This so inspired her that since then, she has directed and collaborated on many anti-trafficking projects, produced and conducted anti-human trafficking training programs, and authored numerous publications and curricula on both sex and labor trafficking. Robin has served on and held leadership positions on local, state, and national boards and committees including the Florida Supreme Court-appointed Commission on Access to Civil Justice and the Tallahassee/Leon County Commission on the Status of Women and Girls. Robin led Florida’s first Task Force on Domestic and Sexual Violence and served on the National Advisory Council on Violence Against Women. She holds both a J.D. and a master's degree from Florida State University and a B.A. from American University in Washington, D.C.
