The Delaware State Chamber of Commerce awarded the Marvin S. Gilman Bowl to Don Fulton, managing partner of George J. Weiner Associates, Wilmington, on Wednesday at the 15th Annual Marvin S. Gilman Superstars in Business Awards program. Fulton accepted the award with his daughters and granddaughters in attendance.
The event, held at the Hotel du Pont’s Gold Ballroom, also honored eight outstanding companies as Superstars in Business and Award of Excellence winners. The program included video tributes to the Superstars in Business award winners, as well as keynote remarks by Frank and Donna Masley, the husband-and-wife team behind Masley Enterprises.
