Savills Studley Baltimore Broker Honored With Two Community Service Appointments

Savills Studley is pleased to announce that Ryan Miller, a Managing Director in the Baltimore office, has been elected to Junior Achievement of Central Maryland, Inc.’s Associate Leadership Council. He has also been named a Living Classrooms “Rising Star”. Miller age 26, is a lifelong native of Baltimore and has been in commercial real estate since graduating from University of Maryland in 2012.

Junior Achievement of Central Maryland is part of Junior Achievement USA, the world's largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices. These K-12 programs provide relevant, hands-on experiences in financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship. Junior Achievement of Central Maryland reaches more than 40,000 total students in 12 Maryland counties each year.

Living Classrooms 2016 Rising Stars presented by the Baltimore Business Journal, honors a select group of young professionals who are recognized for their professional achievements and philanthropic efforts. By accepting this award, honorees commit to raising a minimum of $3,000 for Living Classrooms Foundation’s education programs serving disadvantaged youth and communities through donations, sponsorships, an auction item, events, etc. by September 30, 2016. These important funds support hands-on education and job-training programs that serve disadvantaged youth and positively impact the greater community. This distinguished group of young men and women will also participate in the 7th annual Rising Stars Celebration, held in conjunction with Baltimore’s most popular benefit party, Maritime Magic on September 30.

“After being a part of several networking organizations, strictly for the purpose of developing new business, I began a search to find non-profits to become entrenched in philanthropically. After meeting with Jennifer Bodensiek and Kaitlin Bowman of Junior Achievement and hearing their mission, I was immediately inspired to get involved. The fact that JA is dedicated to giving young people knowledge and skills to ensure future economic success really resonated with me. These were skills that I wasn’t taught in middle school, high school or even college, but are essential to surviving in the real world.

Following my nomination for Living Classrooms’ 2016 Rising Stars program, it became a no-brainer to accept. I had met James Bond through mutual connections, but I was finally given the opportunity to learn more in depth about what Living Classrooms is trying to accomplish. I am a Baltimore kid therefore I strive every day to give back to the community I grew up in and make a difference in a city I love.

I look forward to contributing to and participating in these organizations not only in 2016 but for many years to come as these two organizations make a major difference in Charm City!”
