In 2011, Beebe Healthcare recognized a critical gap in traditional medical training: while clinical expertise is essential, leadership skills are often left undeveloped. Determined to strengthen provider leadership and build a more engaged, effective medical staff, the organization took a deliberate step forward with the launch of its Provider Leadership Academy in 2015.

For community-based systems like Beebe Healthcare, success depends on operating as a highly reliable organization, one in which safety, quality, and continuous improvement are driven by those closest to the work. But too often, providers are expected to lead teams, influence workflows, and drive outcomes without ever receiving formal leadership training.

Long before conversations around representation in leadership became commonplace, Suzanne C. Moore was breaking barriers in Delaware’s business community. In 2001, Moore became the first woman to serve as president and CEO of the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce — one of only two women to ever hold the role.

Moore passed away Feb. 26, 2026, in Greenville, with her husband by her side. Though humble by nature, her influence was far-reaching — a steady, determined force who helped shape the State Chamber and Delaware’s business and policy landscape. Her legacy continues to guide the work ahead.

Advocacy doesn’t always begin with politics or lobbying. Often, it starts with relationships, participation, and business leaders simply sharing their real-world experiences.

As Small Business Month comes to a close, Kelly sits down with Joseph Giordano of Whisman, Giordano & Associates, Jake Ruddy of PCS, and Evan Park of the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce to discuss why it’s important for small businesses to connect with local lawmakers, how policy decisions affect day-to-day operations, and why firsthand business perspectives help shape better outcomes for Delaware.

In 2015, the Delaware Department of Education projected that approximately 50% of school leaders would be eligible for retirement between 2020 and 2025, creating an urgent need for experienced educators prepared to step into leadership roles without delay. The challenge was clear. Delaware needed a stronger pipeline of school leaders who could move into these roles ready to lead on day one.

The University of Delaware’s Principal Preparation Program, housed in the College of Education and Human Development's School Success Center, was designed with that urgency in mind.
