Key issues impacting the elections are:

1 National polls tell us Democrat voters focus on the economy, healthcare, and climate issues. GOP voters prioritize inflation, immigration, and safety concerns.

3 Online, Delawareans are focused on education, gun control, abortion, and the economy (jobs, inflation, taxes).

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!
