Director of Advancement

Hospice of the Chesapeake

Christine Wilson is the Director of Advancement at Hospice of the Chesapeake, where she has made significant contributions since joining the organization in June 2008. Initially hired as an Events Coordinator, Wilson’s exceptional performance led to her swift promotion to Manager, and in December 2017, she was named Director of Advancement.

In her current role, Wilson oversees all fundraising initiatives for the nonprofit, leading a team dedicated to achieving an annual fundraising goal of approximately $4 million. These efforts include special events, major gifts, direct mail appeals, and memorial donations. Fundraising plays a critical role in supporting hospice care services that are not covered by Medicare or traditional insurance.

Before joining Hospice of the Chesapeake, Wilson served as the Vice President of Programs and Events at the Annapolis and Anne Arundel County Chamber of Commerce.

A highly respected leader, Wilson currently serves on the Board of Directors for Leadership Anne Arundel. She holds the prestigious Certified Fund-Raising Executive (CFRE) designation and is a graduate of the 2007 Leadership Anne Arundel Flagship program. She was also honored as a YWCA TWIN (Tribute to Women & Industry) recipient. A lifelong resident of Calvert County, Wilson is deeply committed to her community.
