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.
