Following a stint as training and development director for a local financial institution, Valerie joined HPR in 1996 just days before the start of an on-air campaign. She and her team are responsible for a diverse and growing array of listener and donor relationship and revenue activities including membership, on-air campaigns, major giving, planned giving, grant support, volunteers and community events. A true public radio nerd, Val enjoys the surprise and delight of a good “driveway moment.”
