Leaving a Lasting Print

DSCC’S FRED MILLER RETIRES

Fred Miller graduated from West Chester State College in 1974 with a Health and Physical Education degree. He went on to teach physical education and serve as head wrestling coach at Coatesville High School until 1978, and kindergarten through fifth grade from 1979-1980.

In 1981, Fred was hired by then Delaware State Chamber vice president, Blake Wilson, to sell memberships. After a brief period of time as vice president of sales and marketing at Suburban Marketing, Fred launched Miller Publishing where his first client was the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce. Along with selling advertising for the State Chamber’s publications, Miller proudly published four coffee table pictorial books—“Chester County a Photographic Journey;” “Images of Delaware;” “Wilmington on the Move;” and a book on the restoration of the Statue of Liberty called “Liberty For All.” He became full-time with the State Chamber in 2014.

After nearly 40 years serving the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce, Fred looks forward to playing golf, traveling, and visiting with friends in his retirement. And, if you know Fred, he still plans on telling jokes—he may even grow a ponytail!

Looking back at his time with the State Chamber, Fred reflects, “My years at the Chamber allowed me to work and learn from many talented people who took the time to share their knowledge with me. I hope over the years that I was able to pass some of that forward. I want to thank the Chamber and all my coworkers for putting up with my whistling, terrible singing, bad jokes, and crazy stories. I was truly blessed to be a part of this wonderful organization.”
