Nassau, Bahamas - The Board of Directors of REACH announced that Rickcardo Miller has been named the Acting President effective May 12, 2015. Mr. Miller, formerly the Co-Vice President, has served with REACH since 2009.

Miller will succeed Mario Carey, who is stepping down after a five-year tenure as President.

"I am very pleased that I have been chosen as the Acting President of REACH. I am looking forward to building on the strong foundation already established by the extraordinary efforts of Mario Carey and the Board of Directors," Miller said.

Miller has been a member of REACH’s executive team for five years serving as Co-Vice President with Kim Gibson. In his role as Co-Vice President he has provided invaluable service as the External Affairs Liaison and Parent Support Group Chair.

Miller is the proud father of four, three boys and one girl – Joel age 10, Jude age 8 and twins Jordan and Joanna age 5. Jude was diagnosed with autism at age 3 and currently attends The Nassau School and is progressing well.
