Repetto Writing Solutions, Championed by William Repetto
Repetto Writing Solutions is looking to launch a project that brings together stakeholders from across the state to increase the quantity and quality of grant applications that both for-profit and non-profit businesses produce and submit. This consortium, which will include small- and large-sized entities, will offer a forum for natural mentorship between members supplemented by programming and proposal development provided by the Repetto Writing Solutions team.

The success of this initiative may prove invaluable for the state. Further grant funds for businesses and enterprises in Delaware can result in more jobs and higher employment, while further funding in the technology space will continue Delaware’s legacy of being a place where cutting-edge inventions and innovations are produced. Crucially, too, additional funds for the state’s nonprofit organizations will demonstrate Delaware’s leadership in solving complex social issues, issues whose solutions can then be exported throughout the country.

OperaDelaware, championed by Kerriann Otaño

OperaDelaware is the 11th oldest opera company in the nation, with the tenacity and adaptability to usher in opera’s next chapter. They believe that Delaware offers a unique opportunity for artists who otherwise travel extensively to reside in the state and put down roots, which has inspired a bold, new employment model focused on the long-term support of our creative class. Their workforce development initiative is focused on giving artists a family-sustaining wage, enriching our community with their talents, and boosting our creative economy.

By recruiting highly skilled creatives, OperaDelaware ensures an exceptional level of artistry for the people of Delaware, while building Delaware’s identity as a regional hub for artists. This new model creates a pipeline of opportunity that extends beyond an artist’s career onstage and ensures a strong creative workforce and a unique opportunity for Delaware to lead an artistic movement that will impact the nation.
