Hutchison first started working with Dee Norton in 1991 as a volunteer through the Junior League of Charleston, the organization that helped found the child advocacy center. She then became a member of the board of directors, serving as chair in her last year, and eventually joined the staff in 2001, where she worked as the fundraising coordinator and most recently as the director of development and communications.

 

Dee Norton is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the nonprofit has had to adapt its services to the public by implementing telemedicine.

 

Estimates indicate that nearly 11,500 children are abused in Charleston and Berkeley counties each year.
