Vienna, VA (October 8, 2025) &ndash; Miller &amp; Smith today announced two strategic promotions within its leadership team. Tracy Lamb, formerly Vice President of Sales, has been promoted to Senior Vice President of Sales &amp; Marketing. Erica Bell, formerly Sr. Marketing Manager, has been promoted to Director of Marketing. These moves deepen alignment between sales and marketing and continue the company&rsquo;s tradition of advancing leaders from within, an attribute that helped Miller &amp; Smith celebrate its 60th year in business in 2024.
&ldquo;Tenure helps us keep the company&rsquo;s vision and core values in place, but you also have to be willing to embrace change,&rdquo; said Tracy Lamb, newly appointed Senior Vice President of Sales &amp; Marketing. &ldquo;At Miller &amp; Smith, our focus has always been on delivering distinctive homes paired with an exceptional home-buying experience, and that commitment continues to guide every decision we make.&rdquo;
Since its founding in 1964, Miller &amp; Smith has helped more than 10,000 Washingtonians love where they live, shaping over 148 neighborhoods across Maryland and Virginia. The proof of the builder&rsquo;s performance is evident in every home and community, where timeless architecture, family-friendly layouts, and superior craftsmanship define the experience. Behind every one of those homes is a team of dedicated professionals, from visionary leaders to talented designers, construction experts, and sales professionals, who carry forward the company&rsquo;s spirit of quality and innovation. 
The company&rsquo;s reputation for excellence is consistently recognized at both the local and national level. With more than 500 awards for design and construction excellence, including &ldquo;Builder of the Year&rdquo; and &ldquo;Best in Show,&rdquo; Miller &amp; Smith continues to set the standard for innovative floorplans and thoughtful community design. These achievements are a testament to the collaborative talent and passion of its people, leaders like Lamb and Bell who inspire the teams behind every community, and to a company culture dedicated to building not only homes, but lifestyles.
&ldquo;Tracy is a proven leader who brings deep frontline insight and the strategic lens together, and Erica has been instrumental in developing our brand and launching campaigns that meet buyers where they are,&rdquo; said Tom Hyde, Chief Operating Officer of Miller &amp; Smith. &ldquo;These promotions strengthen our go-to-market execution and reflect our confidence in the next chapter of growth.&rdquo;
As Senior Vice President of Sales &amp; Marketing, Ms. Lamb will oversee the full revenue engine, from sales strategy and training to brand, demand generation, and community launch planning, ensuring a unified experience from a buyer&rsquo;s first touch through settlement. Bell, as Director of Marketing, will lead brand strategy, digital marketing, content, creative, and community campaign execution across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region and beyond.
&ldquo;Miller &amp; Smith&rsquo;s leaders work extremely hard, and everything we do is for the people we serve, that is, the buyer,&rdquo; added Lamb. &ldquo;We challenge one another, we listen, and we improve. That&rsquo;s how we protect what&rsquo;s core and keep getting better.&rdquo;

About Food For Neighbors
Food For Neighbors raises awareness, engages communities, and partners with Northern Virginia secondary schools to connect vital resources with students. We help schools establish pantries and fill them regularly with food and toiletries, almost all of which local community members donate, collect, sort, and deliver to schools. At the schools, staff identify teens in need, develop relationships with them, and connect them with the reliable, easily-accessible resources, which may also include grocery gift cards that we provide for the most vulnerable. Students are better able to focus and learn. In the long term, being better students lifts up them, their families, and our community as a whole.

The Need
All children deserve to have reliable, nutritious food powering their minds and bodies so they may enjoy active, healthy lives. Unfortunately, 1 in 7 children in Virginia face hunger.(1) Poverty, combined with the high cost of living, make it difficult for families to afford housing, food, medicine, and other basic necessities.(2) During the 2023-2024 school year in Arlington, Fairfax, and Loudoun counties, over 93,000 students resided in households with incomes qualifying them for free or reduced-price school meals. Over 1 in 4 students qualified in Arlington and Loudoun counties, and over 1 in 3 qualified in Fairfax County.(3) These are the children who may be experiencing&ndash;or who are at risk of experiencing&ndash;food insecurity. This can negatively impact their physical and mental health, well-being, and work and school performance.(4) 					
Our Solution			
						
We help schools establish pantries and fill them regularly with food and toiletries, almost all of which local community members donate, collect, sort, and deliver to schools. At the schools, staff identify teens in need, develop relationships with them, and connect them with the reliable, easily-accessible resources, which may also include grocery gift cards that we provide for the most vulnerable. Students are better able to focus and learn. In the long term, being better students lifts up them, their families, and our community as a whole.
