DCF staff members attended today's Latino Summit hosted by the Delaware Hispanic Commission at the Chase Center on the Riverfront in Wilmington. This event created space to connect, learn, and take action - bringing together professionals, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and more.

There were many dynamic workshops focused on issues critical to the Latino community, as well as meaningful discussions around civic engagement, economic empowerment, education and immigration.
The celebration also included an award honoring Dr. Christine Cannon for her work with the DCF’s Arsht-Cannon Fund. The award was accepted on her behalf by DCF Director of Community Partnerships and Hispanic Initiatives Dr. Jennifer Fuqua.

Everyone enjoyed cultural performances, delicious food, and the opportunity to connect with more than 50 organizations, agencies, and businesses dedicated to serving and uplifting our neighbors.

The DCF is saddened to learn of the passing of former Wilmington Mayor Mike Purzycki, visionary developer of the Riverfront, who devoted much of his career to public service. Our thoughts are with his family.

Then Mayor Purzycki, left, with DCF President and CEO Stuart Comstock-Gay, at an event at the Community Services Building in Wilmington.
