Highlights

Keynote Speaker Mayor Mike Purzycki

“The solutions are hard and there are no easy answers, but if we work together with big hearts, we can stretch the boundaries of what we think is possible. We can change the narrative. We can accomplish great things and give our city a bright future.” – Mayor Mike Purzycki

Wilmington Mayor Mike Purzycki delivered the keynote address, inspiring attendees with his message of what it means to live in kinship and provided an update on efforts underway to revitalize Wilmington.

Jim Peffley introduced the Mayor, sharing “In his inaugural address, Mayor Purzycki talked about setting ambitious goals that will inspire us to imagine the city as we want it to be, not as it is. He talked about rebuilding neighborhoods, creating businesses and jobs. He charged all of us to rededicate ourselves to creating a new birth of optimism in the city of Wilmington. Mayor, we know you mean it and are committed to making a positive change. The Cinnaire team has taken your challenge to heart and we are making a commitment to bring everything we offer to Wilmington in a highly focused way.” Please click here to listen to Mayor Purzycki’s keynote speech.
