Christine Louis joins NHPR as new Vice President of Development

Christine Louis has joined NHPR as its new Vice President of Development. Christine will oversee NHPR’s Membership, Corporate Sponsorship, and Major Giving divisions and serve as a key member of the leadership team.

“I’m excited to join the development team at NHPR and build on the foundation of support for NHPR: board members, sustainers, members and soon-to-be-members, Christine says. “I look forward to advancing the mission of NHPR, bringing trustworthy journalism to communities throughout New Hampshire and beyond.”

Christine has spent most of her life in New Hampshire, split between the North Country and the Lakes Region. She has worked as a development professional for the past 32 years, ensuring academic and other non-profit institutions have the resources they need. She began her career at her alma mater, the Holderness School, leading its annual giving program, and later returned to direct the Advancement Office as the school’s Director of Development. She has led fundraising efforts for the Greater Worcester Community Foundation, the Currier Museum of Art, the Tilton School, and most recently for the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of New Hampshire. Through the important work of development, her expertise and vision are visible across New Hampshire and the entire New England region.

“In Christine, we’ve found an inspiring leader who knows New Hampshire and cares deeply about our state and NHPR’s public service mission,” said Jim Schachter, NHPR’s president and chief executive officer. ”Her skills and background in building and growing successful giving programs will be vital to fulfilling that mission.”
