Why Watch

Tobin believes talent is the foundation of mission success. Hiring the right people is only the beginning — positioning them for success through targeted training and meaningful engagement ensures they thrive and drive long-term impact. For her, the most rewarding part of the job is matching the right person to the right role and watching them grow into capable, compassionate leaders. It’s a proven formula, she says, for answering the challenge.
“The most fulfilling part of what I do is serving others — from our customers to our employees to our communities,” Tobin said. “It’s a privilege to lead an organization where that commitment to service is not just a value, but a daily practice.”
Fun Fact: Tobin is deeply passionate about community service and volunteer work. She helped launch GRVTY’s Community Service Program, which supports a range of charitable causes across the company’s regional locations. For Tobin, the most rewarding part isn’t just volunteering personally; it’s organizing larger efforts that create lasting, collective impact. Giving back, she says, is a core part of GRVTY’s identity.
