Costa appointed by Musgrove as commissioner
 

Hernando, Apr 2, 2003 - Governor Musgrove appointed nine new Commissioners late last fall to serve on the board of the Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service, including Robin Costa, president of the Maddox Foundation. The board, made up of twenty-two Commissioners, guides the funding decisions for all national service grant dollars. In 1985, Robin Costa began her career with the Maddox Companies. She served as Secretary and Treasurer from 1992 to 1994 and Chief Operating Officer from 1994 to 1998. After the tragic and untimely death of her mentors, she is currently the president of the Maddox Foundation, which played an integral role in getting a computer in every classroom in Mississippi. She is one of the founders of the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi, served on the board of the Mississippi Center for Nonprofits, and the DeSoto Economic Council. She also is president of the River Kings Hockey Team and president of AF2 arena football. Using these sports connections, Robin has raised thousands of dollars for area nonprofits.
