Message from the President

I wanted to focus my message this week on one of my favorite programs here at the State Chamber – Delaware Principal for a Day. Recognizing a need to foster working relationships between business leaders and educators, the State Chamber created the Delaware Principal for a Day program to provide the business community an opportunity to spend the day in a Delaware school carrying out the daily responsibilities of a principal.

Legislative Priority

The announcement of a 500K plus downward revision to the number of jobs created since 2018 coincides with this month’s Delaware labor report showing that Delaware, while not being revised downward, saw most of its recent job creation over the last 12 months happen in 2018. What is unknown as of now is whether or not this is a sign of a weakening economy.

BUSINESSES LARGE AND SMALL are facing unprecedented liability and reputational harm due to cyber-attacks and data breaches. Financial institutions, private businesses, public agencies, and now the City of Baltimore have had their networks frozen by ransomware.
