Favorite thing about Delaware? “Delaware is less like a state and more like a community of family and friends with a variety of world class attractions for everyone to enjoy — from Cape Henlopen to Killens Pond to White Clay Creek State Park, from Apple Scrapple to the St. Anthony’s Festival, from the Freeman Stage to the Grand.”
Since 2014, Mark Brainard has served as Delaware Technical Community College’s president and overseen policy at its four campuses that teaches thousands of students every year. But before that, he worked in the Delaware legislature and for the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce. In 2002, he was tapped by Gov. Ruth Ann Minner to serve as her chief of staff, staying for six years and helping to marshal support for the SEED program, which covers full tuition for select high school graduates to get an associate degree.
