Governor’s proclamation honors League of Women Voters volunteer

Gov. Matt Meyer declared May 17, 2025, as Sue Claire Harper Day in Delaware, in honor of Sue Claire Harper’s extraordinary contribution to civic life in the state.

Sussex County League of Women Voters President Barb Hedges-Goettl presented the proclamation during the league’s May 17 meeting at the Georgetown Public Library.

The proclamation recognized Harper for her years of exceptional service to the League of Women Voters of Sussex County and the League of Women Voters of Delaware, where she has held leadership positions since 2012. As chair of the local league’s land-use committee, Harper organized 16 public forums in county council chambers to support the development of the 2018 Sussex County Comprehensive Plan, fostering community input and civic engagement.
