Norman M. Oliver has been a leader in the City of Wilmington and the State of Delaware since he graduated from Delaware State University in 1985 with a bachelor's degree in Social Work.
"Stormin" is no stranger to the Delaware political and governmental scene. Upon completing college, he worked in a staff role with the former Mayor Dan Frawley, he also served as a political advisor to the former Attorney General Charles Oberly. Norman became well known throughout the State by the establishment of "Stormin' Norman's Basketball League" - a program where hundreds of young men participated in organized sports (but only if their grades were good enough!) and learned the many important lessons of sportsmanship and team playing.
In 1993 Norman was successful in running for the position of the 4th District City Council seat. He held this position for three terms. While still holding his seat on council, in 1993, Norman was elected as Chair of Wilmington's Democratic Party and has been a part of Delaware's delegation to the Democratic National Convention. Norman has always been an entrepreneur, as a result, he owns three businesses: Nor Enterprises Inc, City Pizza recently featured in the News Journal) and City Tavern. In 2003 Norman decided to give up his City Council seat to further develop his businesses.
Nor Enterprises Inc. provides educational consulting services and among other things, has been retained by each of the northern New Castle County school districts to assist in reaching young boys and girls who need encouragement to succeed.
Norman has been an elected official and has run national, statewide, and local political campaigns. Other organizations, both non-profit and profit-seeking growth and development, have sought Mr. Oliver for guidance and leadership. He currently serves on the Boards of Directors of Delaware State University and Sterling Bank and is active in the Wilmington Rotary Club, the Monday Club, and Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.
