Julian "Pete" Booker Retires from Delaware Safety Council

FIRST FEMALE SUCCESSOR NAMED

Pete Booker recently retired as executive director of the Delaware Safety Council (DSC)—a position he held since 2019. Prior to that, Booker served as president of Delmarva Broadcasting Company.

DSC was established in 1919 by DuPont Company President Irénée du Pont with a mission to promote the protection of life and health in the workplace, in the home, on the highway, and in the community by actively providing education/training resources and services.

“Pete’s decades of experience in Delaware media enabled him to leave a significant footprint in a short tenure with the Delaware Safety Council”, stated board co-chair, Sam Waltz.

Although he retired, Booker isn’t going far. He transitioned to the board of the century-old nonprofit who named Stacey Inglis as DSC’s first female executive director on April 1, 2022. For the past five years Inglis served as vice president of marketing/historic and cultural affairs with the Tilton Mansion—home to the University and Whist Club. Throughout her career, Inglis has held various executive management positions in the food and beverage, automotive, and hospitality industries.

The Delaware State Chamber of Commerce extends a warm congratulations to Pete Booker who has served on the Board of Governors since 2014. Booker is also a recipient of the Marvin S. Gilman Bowl in 2014. The Gilman Bowl honors an individual who has made outstanding contributions to small business and nonprofit organizations of Delaware.
