TCT says Miller first became involved in TCT when her daughter was participating in shows and then became an active board member.

“Within just a few months, Ryn's impact has been felt on our board,” Board Member Julie Sailter said. “We are excited that she is moving into this interim leadership role while we plan forward movement into the Saban Center.”

Before her work with TCT, Miller was employed Encompass Health Corporation in Birmingham for seven years before moving to Tuscaloosa with her husband in 2012. TCT says Miller has also been active in the non-profit sector in Tuscaloosa, serving on the boards at Family Counseling Service, Children’s Hands-On Museum, and her church.

She holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi and has a background in project management and communication.

In her new role, Miller's responsibilities will include the preparation and execution of fundraising, development goals and strategies as well as managing the day-to-day operation of the organization.

Miller will also work closely with the Saban Discovery Center — a STEAM campus being built in the Tuscaloosa River district. The site of the Tuscaloosa News building will then be the new home for TCT once complete.

“She will be amazing in this role and is one hundred percent committed to the future of the organization," TCT President Marianne David said.
