Rehoboth’s Evan Miller wins public administration award

Evan Miller, Rehoboth Beach projects coordinator, received the 2019 Young Professional of the Year Award from the Delaware chapter of the American Society for Public Administration.

“As part of our next generation of leaders, Evan will help to shape our community’s future and we are so proud to recognize his work with this award,” said Rehoboth Beach City Manager Sharon Lynn, in a prepared statement.
