Paul E. Miller named LeMay chief operating officer | Development

Former Tacoma City Councilman Paul E. Miller was named chief operating officer of LeMay - America's Car Museum this week.

Miller has been overseeing construction at the new museum, and is a longstanding member of the museum's board of directors.

The museum's trustees parted ways with chief operating officer Steve Geis back in November, telling the News Tribune it wasn't a "good fit."

“Paul is the perfect person to serve as COO, a position that is critical to our success,” said David Madeira, President and CEO of ACM, in an official statement this week. “He literally knows the landscape better than anyone, and knows the players without needing a scorecard. He understands the impact this museum will have - not only from his perspective as a board member, but also as a lifelong member of this community.”

The board also named Enumclaw resident LeAna Reising as the museum's sales manager.

The museum is on track for a June opening.
