Gov. Jack Markell gave Delaware’s highest honor to former Dupont CEO Ellen Kullman last night.
The governor presented the Order of the First State, the highest honor a governor can award, to Ms. Kullman at the Delaware Day Dinner at Buena Vista, a historic governor’s mansion.
Ms Kullman, who played basketball at Tower Hill and Tufts University, used a basketball analogy to describe the opportunities for Delaware in a changing market, saying that other players’ moves can create challenges but they can also create opportunities.
