Mark Saunders appointed to vacant Board of Commissioners position

The Rehoboth Beach Board of Commissioners approved today Mayor Stan Mills’ nomination to appoint Mark Saunders to the vacant Board of Commissioners position, which became available after Don Preston resigned last month.

Saunders was nominated, appointed, and administered the oath of office during a special meeting this morning. He participated in the Board of Commissioners’ workshop meeting that immediately followed the special meeting. Saunder’s term will expire in September 2026.

Saunders has been a Rehoboth Beach property owner for nearly 20 years and full-time resident since 2013.

Mayor Stan Mills says of his nomination of Saunders: “Mark Saunders is a strong choice to represent the Rehoboth Beach community as a commissioner. He is a full-time resident with local government and community leadership experience. Mark missed out being elected to the Board of Commissioners by only 32 votes this summer.

“Mark has outstanding experience representing his fellow citizens as a six-year member of the Rehoboth Beach Homeowners Association board, two of which he served as president.

“I’m confident that as a commissioner Mark will serve our community well, with integrity and a commitment to collaborative decision-making.”
