I returned to Delaware from Botswana yesterday, where I connected with business and government leaders from across the continent at the U.S.-Africa Business Summit. Spreading the Delaware story to an international audience is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Thank you to our sponsors including the Delaware Prosperity Partnership, Drone Workforce Solutions, the Delaware Tourism Office, and Foreign Trade Zone 99. The Delaware House of Representatives prepared beautiful Tribute which I presented on behalf of the people of Delaware to His Excellency, Dr. Mokgweetsi E. K. Masisi, the President of Botswana, and to the President of the Corporate Council on Africa, Ms. Florie Liser. A special thanks to the World Trade Center Delaware members who accompanied WTC Delaware to Gaborone – Mohamed Cisse of Tungsten Global Consulting and Barbara Simmons, Esq. who also spent countless hours speaking about Delaware’s environment for innovation and partnership.
