“I am proud and honored to be elected by my peers to lead our Foundation,” he said. “Our work is so important to the future of Beebe and to the quality and accessibility of healthcare in our community.”
Mylander moved to Delaware in 1990 — after working for 20 years in the financial services industry in the Washington D.C. area — to serve as president and CEO of Delaware National Bank.
Mylander served in the U.S. Army as a commissioned officer after graduation from East Tennessee State University.
After a tour in Vietnam, he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and Joint Service Commen-dation Medal.
