Leadership

Fueled by a love of music and a deep commitment to her hometown, Ashley Miller serves as Executive Director of the Lakeland Symphony Orchestra, blending her passion for the arts with expertise in fundraising, relationship building, and strategic communications. A lifelong Lakelander, Ashley is dedicated to ensuring that professional symphonic music remains vibrant and accessible to everyone.

Her career began in mission-driven nonprofit work with Volunteers in Service to the Elderly (VISTE), where she helped share the organization’s story and strengthen its connection to the community. She later honed her marketing and advertising skills as an Account Executive at MADE Brands, experience she now channels into advancing the orchestra’s mission.

Ashley holds a B.A. in Advertising from Florida Southern College. When she’s not at the symphony, you can find her spending time with her husband and ten-year-old son, enjoying the beach, or embracing life right here in her hometown.
