West Coast Woman October 2020

Veronica Brandon Miller with Preferred Shore Real Estate
"A woman alone has power; collectively,
we have impact.”
"A woman alone has power; collectively, we have impact," Veronica Brandon
Miller states. "You don't do business with a company; you do business with
people you like and trust." That's why Veronica decided to build a team of
strong, smart, and talented women to collaborate with.
Veronica recently joined the Altier Group with Preferred Shore, which already
consisted of two strong women; Abigail Altier and Cozette Lillard. However,
Veronica wanted to create a bigger circle to create a one-stop shop to help
home buyers and sellers.
"You are judged by the company you keep, and so I selected women who I
admire and who also have demonstrated the same compassion I have for our
wonderful community."
Veronica has more than 30 years of creative vision and unparalleled expertise
in community engagement, philanthropy, branding, and marketing. In fact,
she personally has received many community awards—including the Sarasota
Chamber of Commerce’s ‘Impact in Action’ award for her leadership in
helping the community.
Prior to joining the real estate world, she served as senior vice president for
Goodwill Industries. She created multiple programs and initiatives that were
duplicated around the globe with stellar success. Veronica notes that, of her
local achievements, she is proudest of the award-winning Veterans Services
Program and Community Ambassador Program – which has engaged more
than 10,000 supporters – as well as her ability to leverage more than 330
collaborations in the community.
"Helping people has always been my passion. Now I am honored to help
people with what is possibly the largest investment in their lifetime: a home."
Veronica demonstrates her love of the community by supporting numerous
charities and currently serves on the boards for Paws & Warriors, Leadership
Manatee Alumni Association, and the Leadership Sarasota Alumni Association.
She has also served on the boards for the Sarasota Parks Foundation, Glasser/
Schoenbaum Human Services Center, Pines Foundation, Project 180, Child
Protection Center, the McKay Academy, and the All-Star Children's
Foundation.
Originally from Philadelphia, Pa., Miller earned her bachelor's degree in
Marketing from Boston University and her master's degree in Business from the
University of Maryland.
