Mauldin City Council appointed Rebecca Vance to serve as the Interim City Administrator for the next four months during its July 5, 2022 meeting. Vance will take over the responsibilities of former City Administrator Brandon Madden until a permanent City Administrator is named later this year. Vance is responsible for performing high level administrative work under the direction of City Council and exercising supervision over municipal employees.
“Rebecca has served as a leader in many towns and counties across South Carolina and will provide continuity and stability over the coming months,” said City of Mauldin Mayor Terry Merritt. “We are lucky to have her at the helm during this transition.”

In addition, she serves on the South Carolina City-County Manager’s Association Board as the past president. She is also a certified planner with the American Institute of Certified Planners and a credentialed manager with the International City-County Management Association.
“I’m honored to have the opportunity to work with the City of Mauldin in this capacity,” said Vance. “I’m excited to work closely with City Council and the dedicated City employees to continue delivering excellent public services and making Mauldin a great place for all who live and work here.”
