She also has much to do with state assets such as personnel. Having helped to save Delaware about $500,000 through a wellness program called Health Rewards, her latest focuses are reducing the cost ofhealthcare and fine tuning her successful prescription-generic drug program for state employees. "I'm a civil servant," she says. "I have to do the right thing." Starting young Davis has been a great debater since age Z when
she and her father conflicted over articles in The WaIl StreetJournal.

Hawkins-Rigg says. "The personal training and Pilates industryhas absolutelyno regulations or recognized governing body, which means anyone can call themselves an instructor-trainer." Hawkins-Rigg also works with stroke victims, those who suffer brain injuries and people with multiple sclerosis. "We go way beyond losing weight."
Sweat it out By April, Hawkins-Rigg will be certified to teach teachers how to determine ifa client can tolerate the forces that exercise creates on the body. Her mantra Exercise must fit the person. The person doesnt have to fit the program.

For the next 12 months "I will help build my governor's legacy, with an emphasis on full-day kindergarten and cancer research and treatment." Minner has spent $50 million on cancer issues so far. Davis will recommend another $10 million to $14 million.

Though the NCAA named Val \Atriting one ofthe Top 25 NCAA Players ofthe Past 25 Years,
she's playing a tougher game now: Whiting against Delaware s lack of athleticperformance centers. Progress is steady at her Game Shape, the business she created in 2003 to train young athletes such as high school hoopsphenomenon Elena DelleDon ne and others who are trying to get into college and those rvho need to stay in shapewhen they're home from college. \A/hiting also masterminded Delaware Boot Camp, a rigorous workout program for women. which has sold out for two years.
