Evan Richard Park, a native Delawarean, is a proud graduate of the Delaware public school system, and the University of Delaware. Currently, Evan is the Assistant Director of Government Affairs for the University of Delaware. The assistant director is part of a team, including other assistant directors, who are focused on providing leadership and relationship building with elected and appointed officials in state government.

Previously, Evan was the Legislative Liaison for the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT). As the liaison for DelDOT, he worked with the Delaware General Assembly, the Governor, the congressional delegation and elected officials in local municipalities to resolve constituent issues, gain their support for DelDOT projects, and keep them up to date on the ever changing road conditions in our state.

Evan began his career in government while working as a Coordinator in the New Castle County Summer Youth Employment Program. He quickly realized that his passion is making a positive impact in Delaware. Soon after, Evan accepted a position in U.S. Senator Tom Carper’s Delaware office, initially as the Staff Assistant, before being promoted to Driver. While traveling with Senator Carper, Evan was able to learn what it meant to work hard for Delaware, both at home, and in Washington D.C. In 2013, Evan joined the Delaware House of Representatives as the legislative aide to Reps. Melanie George Smith and J.J. Johnson.

In addition to his professional commitments, Evan also participates as a board member on several boards in his free time. He is the Vice President of the Providence Creek Academy Foundation, a member of the William P. Frank Scholarship Fund (Gridiron), the Occupational Therapy Practice Professional Regulatory Board, and the Delaware Nature Society Advocacy Committee. Through these experiences, Evan has developed the skills and the network to make a valuable contribution to Delaware.
