Our Amazing Staff
CEO
Madison Miller
CEO@RICHLANDBGC.ORG
My name is Madison Miller, and I couldn't be more thrilled to be joining the Boys & Girls Club this summer. I grew up in the town of Tumwater, Washington, and later moved to Seattle after earning my bachelor's degree in science from The Evergreen State College. For 11 years, I played competitive volleyball, and after graduating, I had the privilege of coaching select and high school volleyball teams.
In 2018, God brought me to my husband, and we happily tied the knot in May 2020! Since then, we've settled down in Sidney, Montana, and we're happy to have made it our forever home.
Throughout my career, I've primarily worked as the Director of Procurement for a general contractor, overseeing government and commercial construction projects, as well as recurring maintenance work.
In my free time, I have a variety of interests that keep me busy and creatively engaged. I enjoy sewing, crafting stamps, tending to my garden, making soaps, and so much more.
I'm absolutely delighted to become a part of this wonderful Boys & Girls Club community starting this upcoming school year. I look forward to collaborating with our dedicated staff and the amazing Richland County community to ensure the best possible experiences for our members.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more about me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm eager to connect and have some fantastic interactions ahead.
