Ciro Poppiti III has been appointed the new board president of Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition effective July 1. He will be supported by vice president Matt Stehl, treasurer Bradley Slaney and secretary
Sue Bowlby.
Poppiti has formerly served on the DBCC board as secretary, treasurer and vice president. He serves as New Castle County register of wills since being elected in 2010.

Ciro has also released “Delaware Estate Administration,” a how-to manual which, for the first time, unifies statewide policy on what happens when someone dies. The result of Delaware Estate Administration has been to protect seniors by streamlining the probate process. For his efforts, Ciro was awarded the 2015 Government Service Award by the Delaware Bar Association.
