As we prepare for this year’s Annual Dinner, we look back on 2011. Last year brought many changes and successes to the Delaware State Chamber. We are grateful to our loyal members for their active participation and support. Whether your organization sponsored an event, attended a mixer, presented a workshop or was represented on one of our many committees, the Chamber thanks you. Our goal is to provide value at all levels to you – please let us know what we an do for your business.
The Chamber’s Communications and Events Department experienced tremendous changes. We welcomed Denee Crumrine as Program & Communications Specialist (best wishes to Kelly Cofrancisco, now at Nelson Levine de Luca & Horst), Matt Amis as Communications Manager (Katie Wilson is doing a great job at Sen. Carper’s office), and Lisa Prickril as Events Manager (well done Liz Pretz, now at University City Science Center). We also were glad to bring intern Katie Dunn on board as Communications and Events Associate. Cheryl Corn, Executive Assistant to the President, also took the role of Senior Vice President of Marketing & Communications to help out the brand new team (Sharon Reardon is all settled in and doing well at University of Virginia).
There were over 200 events held over the course of last year, from networking breakfasts to leadership luncheons, and Superstars in Education to the Manufacturing Conference and Legislative Brunch. We presented the Hon. Mike Castle with the prestigious Josiah Marvel Cup Award at our 174th Annual Dinner and sold out the Superstars in Business Luncheon with Wawa CEO Howard Stoeckel weeks before the event.
Our Delaware Business magazine started undergoing some cosmetic and structural changes (you’ll see more this year!) and our social media outlets have really grown. Delaware Public Policy Institute introduced the How Delaware Compares project and The Partnership, Inc. had another wonderful Principal for a Day week across the state and honored innovative educational programs at its Superstars in Education dinner.
Our membership becomes more diverse every year and we are proud of the accomplishments of our members. We look forward to 2012 and the promise it holds for Delaware businesses and non-profits.
