Wilmington, DE – Goldey-Beacom College (GBC) is pleased to announce that Vice President for Operations and Planning Dr. Charles “Chuck” Hammond has been selected for the Class of 2024 Fellows for Leadership Delaware, Inc. (LDI).

 

LDI, in its 16^th class of Fellows, annually selects Delaware’s best and brightest leaders to join its program.

The program challenges participants to rise to ever higher levels of impact and accomplishment in each of the following three areas: their career field and profession, the nonprofit sector, and government and politics.

 

“Community leadership programs are a key component to community success,” said Dr. Colleen Perry Keith, president of GBC. “Dr. Hammond deeply understands that and is a natural leader in every community he is part of. I fully expect him to complete this program and bring his talent to bear with the understanding he gains. Delaware will be an even better state as a result of his involvement.”

 

Jennifer Cohan, CEO of Leadership Delaware, stated, “LDI is proud to congratulate the incoming class of 31 Fellows who will begin their year-long journey to expand their knowledge and influence of all things Delaware starting in January of 2024.”
