For more than 25 years, Veronica Brandon Miller has helped nonprofits enhance and advance their mission. As president of ShelterBox USA, she increased donations by 1,000 percent, founded the Women’s Leadership Council at the Boys & Girls Club and completed the capital campaign for the Smithsonian Institution- National Museum of the American Indian. 

“Supporting those in need is not just what I do for a living, it defines me as a person.”

Veronica is now focusing her efforts on building philanthropic support for Goodwill Manasota and has rebranded its image, created an award-winning Goodwill Ambassador program and started the Goodwill Veterans Services Program— helping veterans reintegrate back into the civilian workforce. She has also created a program called “Good Futures” that provides mentors to young adults transitioning out of foster care. In addition, Veronica is the host of Good News TV show on SNN and Tell Me Something Good Radio show on WSRQ that showcases the good that is happening our community. 

“Supporting those in need is not just what I do for a living,” she says, “it defines me as a person.” In addition to the time devoted to Goodwill, she is a Rotarian and serves on the board for the Child Protection Center and Ave Maria Preparatory School.
