Chris Rives serves as the Program Advocate for Voices of Hope Maryland. With a marketing degree in hand, he embarked on a 27-year journey through the sign industry’s sales landscape. His path took a transformative turn in January 2023 when he crossed paths with Jennifer Tuerke at a networking event. The mission of Voices of Hope resonated deeply with him, especially in light of the personal loss of his daughter in 2012.

Chris networks with business and community partners, informing them of the lifesaving services of VoH. He provides Naloxone training and supports families impacted by substance use disorders.

Now, Chris can affirm that this role at VoH has been the pinnacle of his professional life. He expresses that it is a privilege to be part of such an extraordinary organization, making a difference every day.
