Louis Joins NHPR As VP/Development

• Christine Louis has joined New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR) as its new Vice President of Development and will oversee NHPR’s Membership, Corporate Sponsorship, and Major Giving divisions and serve as a key member of the leadership team. NHPR is New Hampshire’s only statewide radio news service, broadcasting from 14 sites across the Granite State.

“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 & CEO. “Her skills and background in building and growing successful giving programs will be vital to fulfilling that mission.”

Louis 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.

Louis 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.

“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,” Louis said. “I look forward to advancing the mission of NHPR, bringing trustworthy journalism to communities throughout New Hampshire and beyond.”
