The Delaware State Chamber of Commerce announced Marie Holliday, CPA, MBA, managing director of Cover & Rossiter, has been elected to chair the organization’s board of directors. She assumes the role following the retirement of Nick Lambrow, Delaware regional president of M&T Bank.

“Marie is a natural leader and dedicated advocate for our mission.

“I’m honored to be selected as chair. In this role, I plan to continue to support the DSCC’s efforts to advocate on behalf of Delaware businesses in areas such as workforce development, economic growth and sustainability,” said Holliday. “Amazing things can be achieved when we work together to accomplish our goals.”
