Board members are motivated by a sense of community that is demonstrated by an investment of time and philanthropic dollars. We represent a diversity of professions and businesses, large and small. Our involvement facilitates partnerships, where appropriate, and philanthropic gifts for College priorities. A strong community is made possible by institutions like Delaware County Community College that focus on career opportunities for residents, while also preparing students to transfer to four year institutions for advanced degrees. For this reason, our Board is committed to the work of the Foundation whose sole mission is to develop resources for students, faculty, programs and capital projects. In recent years the College has focused on transforming the Marple Campus into a 21st century educational environment. This transformation was made possible by major investments by the College that were augmented by gifts from many donors. There is more to be accomplished, but with renewed support from our constituents, we will continue to make an impact on what the College is able to offer the community. The Board’s service on various committees helps to ensure the success of Foundation activities. Annual gifts, which support the scholarship program, golf outing, events and other projects, rely on a great number of people to be successful. We owe a debt of gratitude to our Board members and to all donors whose names are listed in this report. Sincerely yours, Robert M.
