Adelia ThompsonChief Executive Officer
Adelia comes to the foundation from Christopher Newport University, and brings nearly 40 years of experience in leadership, advancement, and community engagement. Thompson joined the Christopher Newport family in 2011 as the Vice President for University Advancement to lead the institution’s very first comprehensive campaign, “Defining Significance.” Christopher Newport exceeded the campaign’s goal by over $20 million raising $66 million – a record for the young university. She became Chief of Staff for CNU in the fall of 2020 and stepped in as the University's Interim President for 2022-23 following Paul Trible's retirement - demonstrating her ability to navigate complex situations and lead effectively. Most recently she served as a Senior Counsel to CNU's 6th President Bill Kelly before retiring from CNU at the end of 2024. Adelia's proven record in fundraising and fostering collaboration, and her many relationships with individuals and businesses across the Peninsula, position her perfectly to propel PCF forward.
