Miller, who first began with the city as a 22-year-old graduate school intern, will take on a new role as deputy director and chief operating officer for the International City/County Management Association, according to a news release from the city.

“It has been one of the greatest honors of my career to serve alongside the talented and dedicated team here in Eagan,” Miller said in the release. “Our core values — serving the community with care, integrity, and foresight — are lived out daily by our staff. That’s what makes Eagan truly special.”

Prior to becoming the third city administrator in Eagan’s history, Miller served as assistant city administrator for 11 years and assistant to the city administrator for nine years before that.

During her time with the city, Miller was integral to the Eagan Forward initiative, sustainability efforts and capital projects like the City Hall/Police Department renovation and the development of the Eagan Art House.

Miller also led efforts to retain significant employers like Thomson Reuters and helped foster a culture of collaboration and innovation, per the release.

“Her vision, dedication and deep commitment to public service have helped shape Eagan into the thriving community it is today,” Eagan Mayor Mike Maguire said in the release. “We are grateful for her service and excited to see her continue to lead on a national stage.”

Based in Washington, D.C., the International City/County Management Association represents some 13,000 professionals in local government and conducts research on local government practices.

In her new role, Miller will have direct responsibility for human resources, information technology, the ICMA ethics program and will help guide the change in how the organization  oversees its Future of Professional Management Fund, according to a company news release.

Miller, whose last day is July 18, will work with the mayor, city council and department heads to ensure a smooth transition.
