Thank you, Chip Rossi

HONORING A LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE

The Delaware State Chamber of Commerce (DSCC) congratulates Chip Rossi on his recent retirement and thanks him for his years of partnership and service to the organization.

Rossi began his career at Bank of America, then MBNA, in 1989 as an intern and went on to serve in various roles throughout his tenure, including global compliance and operational risk operations executive, Delaware market president, and head of Bank of America’s prepaid card unemployment programs. He joined the board of the Delaware State Chamber in 2010 and served as board chair in 2016 and 2017. He also served on many committees, including the Annual Dinner, nominating, president search, and strategic planning. In 2018, the State Chamber staff honored Rossi as board member of the year for his close engagement and support.

Chip Rossi delivers remarks at a DSCC Board of Governors meeting after being named Board Member of the Year in 2018, an honor voted on by State Chamber staff.

His commitment to the state of Delaware is strong. Rossi serves on the boards of Artesian Water, Delaware State University, ChristianaCare, The Grand Opera House, REACH Riverside, the Delaware Business Roundtable, and the William Penn High School Advisory Board, to name a few.

“Chip has played an integral role in my growth journey here at the Delaware State Chamber. Over the years, he’s pushed me to be a better professional,” said Kelly Basile, DSCC chief operating officer. “When Chip commits to a project, you can count on him to be present and thoughtfully engaged. He set an example for how I want to lead.”

“Chip is as good of a person as they come,” said DSCC President Mike Quaranta. “He is bright, thoughtful, sensitive, and a straight shooter. He’s a first-class leader.”
