Governor’s Weekly Message Transcript: Empowering Everybody to Prepare for Natural Disasters and Other Emergencies

Former Governor Jack Markell (2009-2017) | News | Date Posted: Friday, September 23, 2016

Severe weather, natural disasters, and public health emergencies can threaten the safety of our people, homes, and communities. As Governor, I’ve observed how fortunate we are to have so many exceptional public servants hard at work keeping us safe during rain, wind, and snow events, as well as other emergencies.

Wilmington, DE – In his weekly message, Governor Markell highlights the state’s efforts to ensure that every Delawarean has the opportunity to graduate from high school.

Governor’s Weekly Message Transcript: Opening Pathways to Success by Expanding Opportunities for All to Earn a High School Diploma

Former Governor Jack Markell (2009-2017) | News | Date Posted: Friday, September 16, 2016

In our rapidly changing economy, there has never been a better time to enter the workforce with the right skills, but there’s never been a more challenging time to be without the key skills or the right education.
