Bill Hudson

Bill Hudson is a dedicated advocate for the common good and has spent over thirty years leading nonprofit organizations. His passion for supporting family child care led him to help create the Family Child Care Alliance of Maryland in 2019, where he currently serves as the Executive Director. Bill also serves as the  Project Manager for the Alliance's ASPIRE Pre-K program.

Before joining the Alliance, Bill served as the Chief Executive Officer for the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC), an organization dedicated to advancing the field of family child care nationwide. In this capacity, he not only supported NAFCC members but also worked on the core task force for the Power to the Profession initiative sponsored by NAEYC, which aimed to propel the entire Early Care and Education field forward. While at NAFCC, he also served on the National Birth to Age 8 Workforce Committee and the Early Care and Education Innovation Collaborative, both sponsored by the National Academy of Medicine.

In recognition of his expertise and commitment, Bill was chosen as the co-chair of the Maryland Family Child Care Task Force in 2021, an initiative sponsored by the Maryland State Department of Education. Additionally, he has contributed his insights as a member of the Maryland Early Childhood Workforce Subcommittee on Technology.

Bill's commitment to nonprofit excellence goes beyond his work in child care. He has served on numerous nonprofit boards, leveraging his expertise to improve their effectiveness. He has been involved with organizations such as nonprofit child care centers, staffed family child care networks, and currently serves on the board of the Virginia Alliance for Family Child Care Associations.

Bill holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He currently resides in Reston, VA. When he's not advocating for family child care or strengthening nonprofit boards, you will find him exploring new sports, spending time with family, embarking on travel adventures, pondering ways to enhance nonprofit governance, indulging in theater, or battling his serious addiction to pizza.
