Chorman would be great fit for DEC board

July 16, 2024

I write this letter in support of Jeff Chorman who is seeking an at-large seat on the Delaware Electric Cooperative board. I have known Jeff from his time as a youngster growing up in the Overbrook Shores area, which includes the Milton and Lewes communities. 

During this aforementioned time, I found Jeff as a young boy to be kind, mannerly and always respectful. As I watched him grow into a young man and enter college at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, I gained more insight into his level of maturity during a visit to the area of his college (I was in Florida to coach a football game and his mother asked me to check on him). We had dinner together, and with my visit, I learned of his focus to not only graduate early, but also his vision for what he really wanted to do upon graduation. 

In fact, to know Jeff, you have to look at his direction after college. For instance, Jeff has served in an exemplary manner on the following boards: Division of Aeronautics Advisory Council, Sussex County Board of Adjustment, National Agricultural Aviation Association and the Delaware Electric Cooperative Members Committee – all in concert while being married and raising a family, and helping to run a business (Allen Chorman & Son Inc.) that specializes in aerial spraying and charter services. 

For me, there is no doubt that Jeff Chorman has the interpersonal skills, knowledge and talent to enhance the Delaware Electric Cooperative board. Furthermore, his vision, leadership and concern for the future of our communities and counties (Kent and Sussex) in Delaware will help to make a difference in the quality of life for all.
