ELECTION RESULTS ARE IN

HERE ARE KEY TAKEAWAYS

In January, we’ll see nine new faces in Legislative Hall—three in the Senate and six in the House. Six of the nine seats were open following the retirements of Representatives David Bentz, Andria Bennett, John Kowalko, and Senators Bruce Ennis and Ernie Lopez. Additionally, two other seats were open after Rep. Steve Smyk chose to run for State Senate instead of his House seat, and an extra seat was created in central Sussex County after redistricting.

JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES OF DELAWARE

BUILDING A BETTER WORLD

The key to a healthy community is access to high-quality support and resources. Jewish Family Services of Delaware (JFS) has been providing that support to those in the local community who need it—regardless of religion, race, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or special need—since 1899.

“Most JFS clients are not Jewish, but our work is done through the embodiment of Jewish values. The beauty of the Jewish traditions and commitment to tenants such as tikkun olam, or ‘repairing the world’ is at the core of our actions.” - Renna Van Oot, CEO

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING YOUR MEMBERSHIP:

Over the last few years, we have updated and modernized functional areas of our operations. The next planned change is to transition our membership dues billing cycles to a calendar-year cycle.

In order to complete this transition, you will be invoiced a one-time prorated membership dues amount which will ‘pay you up’ through 12/31/23. Please be on the lookout for your prorated invoice. You should receive it via email no later than November 15th. Members already on January billing cycles will not see any changes or prorated bills. Moving forward, members will be billed your annual membership dues in mid-November for a January 1st effective date.

These changes will enable us to be more efficient and bring added focus to the delivery of great events, communications efforts, and policy advocacy to Delaware's business community. Please contact Melissa Brayman at mbrayman@dscc.com with any questions. Thank you for your continued support!
