Marvin S. Gilman Superstars in Business
Making up more than 85 percent of our membership, small businesses are the backbone of the Delaware economy. Every year, The Delaware State Chamber of Commerce (DSCC) and the Small Business Alliance (SBA) honor businesses that not only display effective business models with demonstrable results but make positive impact in their communities. All these honorees have been in business for at least three years, are small businesses based on number of full-time employees, and are members of the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce. Awards of Excellence are also granted to deserving companies. Superstars in Business has recognized outstanding organizations throughout the state since 1998.
