Kristine Caliger has lived in the Silver State for more than 30 years. After earning her B.A. in Music at the University of Nevada, Kristine’s career began in communications, administration, and digital media, lending expertise and organizational leadership to several nonprofits. Her trajectory changed when she was hired at News 4-Fox 11 in 2013. She helped develop the station’s digital news team and strategy, and eventually became its first Managing Editor, overseeing newsroom and editorial operations. Through her work in local news, Kristine discovered she not only wanted to tell Nevadans’ stories but work to change Nevadans’ lives for the better. After her time at News 4-Fox 11, she got to work serving the business and nonprofit community as Vice President of Partnerships and Programs at the Reno+Sparks Chamber of Commerce.
During her time with the Chamber, Kristine reimagined the Chamber’s partnership strategies, creating a successful framework for financial sustainability and accountability. In response to COVID-19, she created successful, supportive, and educational community engagement programs that brought vital resources to hundreds of small businesses and nonprofits. Kristine’s service on boards include the Education Alliance of Washoe County, Truckee Meadows Tomorrow, Truckee Meadows Water Authority’s Standing Advisory Committee, Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority’s Community Outreach Committee, and the Washoe County School District’s 2023 Core Strategic Planning Team, among others.
