WSFS CEO Mark Turner was elected Chairman of the Delaware Business Roundtable.
Turner succeeds William H. “Bill” Willis, Jr., president of Willis Automotive Group, Smyrna, who served from 2011 to 2013, and his predecessor, Ernest J. “Ernie” Dianastasis, Managing Director of Computer Aid, Inc., who served from 2005 to 2011. Turner was elected during the DBRT Annual Meeting on October 28 and will serve a two-year term.
The Delaware Business Roundtable is a volunteer consortium of executives from leading Delaware companies who represent tens of thousands of workers employed in the State of Delaware.
The roundtable has been in existence since 1981 and its broad mission is to enhance the quality of life in Delaware by promoting commerce, job creation and select public policy issues which are directed at the same broad mission.
In recent years, the DBRT has been a leading supporter of both Delaware public education transformation and developing an entrepreneurial economy in Delaware.
The DBRT and its members advance their mission through public advocacy and by contributing executive time, thought leadership, and funds to these efforts, according to a statement.
Turner said, “I am honored to be selected by my peers to help advance the beneficial interest of business in Delaware and the quality of life for all we serve. I thank the DBRT membership for its support of our worthy causes, and I especially appreciate the strong leadership of all my predecessors at the DBRT.”
