Last week, the Miller Center selected George H. Gilliam to serve as its new director of special programs.
Gilliam's duties include organizing special forums and public events, while trying to vary the times and locations in which Miller programs will be held. The varied programming reflects the Center's new focus on expanding its audience-base.
"We welcome George and look forward to his contribution to the Center," Miller Center Director Philip Zelikow said in a statement. "This appointment will allow us to bring that discussion to a wider segment of the community throughout Virginia."
After practicing law for over 25 years, Gilliam began work on a history doctoral degree at the University in 1998. Gilliam also has produced several documentaries on Virginia history, and has served in dozens of volunteer capacities, including chairman of the State Board for Community Colleges and director of the Charlottesville-Albemarle Chamber of Commerce.
