Honoring Jeffery Miller's commitment to Miami-Dade Students
Jeffrey Miller is the chairman of the Board of Directors for Breakthrough Miami. His leadership on the board has enabled Breakthrough Miami to become the largest program in the Breakthrough Collaborative. He is a tireless advocate for education and he especially helps the youth of Miami-Dade County BREAKTHROUGH any obstacles in their way to success. Breakthrough Miami would not be where it is without Jeffrey Miller and the Miller Family Foundation.
Besides his work at Breakthrough Miami, Jeffrey Miller works with many other philanthropic organizations. He is the current Chairman of The Council for Educational Change, another local non-profit organization which works to improve Miami-Dade county public schools. He received an award from the Council for his work with Hialeah Elementary and Holmes Elementary schools. He also received the Miami-Dade County Public Schools Exemplary Partnership Award-Business Leader award.
The Miller Family is one of the most philanthropic families in South Florida. Jeffrey's father, Leonard Miller was the CEO of the Lennar Corporation. In 2004, Mr. Miller gave the largest gift in Florida's history to the University of Miami, School of Medicine. He also was a founder of the Council for Educational Change. Leonard Miller believed: "If Every Child Can Get a Quality Education, Every Child Can Succeed." These are the exact sentiments of Jeffrey and are evident by his determined efforts on behalf of children.
Jeffrey's selfless committment to bettering the lives of children gives us strength to continue our mission. Executive Director Alicia Rodriguez-Bower notes, "We are proud to honor Jeffrey Miller for his dedication to Breakthrough Miami's students, parents, teachers and staff. He has inspired all of us to give more of our energy and hearts to our mission of helping children fulfill their dreams."
