Col. Joseph A. Cooke, Jr., the Delaware Army National Guard’s deputy chief of staff for personnel, has been nominated by Gov. John Carney and confirmed by the Delaware State Senate to serve a three-year term on the Board of Trustees for Delaware Technical Community College.
“Col. Cooke has served in numerous roles during his National Guard tenure that provided partnership opportunities with Delaware Tech,” said Board Chairman Nancy Shevock. “That experience has provided him with a working knowledge of the College’s programs and a commitment to its mission, and we are fortunate to have him join our Board of Trustees.”
Col. Cooke entered the Delaware National guard in 1989 as a private and received his commission from Delaware’s Army National Guard Office Candidate School in 1996, graduating as the Distinguished Honor Graduate.
Prior to his current assignment, he served in several leadership positions, including Joint Staff vice chief of staff, recruiting and retention commander, and deputy chief of staff for information management.
