Pam Miller served as the mayor of Lexington, Kentucky from 1993 to 2003. On January 3, 1993, she became Lexington's first woman mayor.[1] She was first elected to the Urban County Council in 1973 and was the first woman elected to public office in the city.[2] She served from 1974 to 1977 and again from 1980 to 1993. She served as vice-mayor before becoming mayor after the resignation of Scotty Baesler, who was elected to the United States Congress in 1992. She was elected mayor in 1994 and again in 1998, though she chose not to run for a third full term in 2002.
Under her leadership, Lexington developed an Urban Area Greenspace Plan in 1994.[3] In 1995, she founded Partners for Youth, a non-profit organization that serves as a clearinghouse for funding programs for youth in Lexington.[4] This development occurred after the shooting and killing of Antonio Orlando Sullivan, an eighteen-year-old African American male, by a white police officer in October 1994 which had caused a public outcry.[5]
Upon her retirement as mayor, Pam Miller remained active in civic affairs. She became a member and then chair of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence (serving as chair from 2006 to 2010), and the Lexington Opera Society (chair, 2007–2009).[6] Governor Steve Beshear appointed her to the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education in 2008,[7] and served as the Council's vice chair from February 2010 to December 2011. She was elected as the Council's chair in 2012[8] and has been reappointed in that leadership role each year since. Her current term on the Council ended on December 31, 2018.[9]
