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 a positive impact in their communities. All these honorees have been in business for at least three years and are small businesses based on the number of fulltime employees. Awards of Excellence are also granted to deserving companies. Superstars in Business has recognized outstanding organizations throughout the state since 1998.
