President Amy Lauren Miller’s End-of-Year Wishes
As 2025 draws to a close, President Amy Lauren Miller reflects on the year past and shares her hopes for the year ahead.

- A Brighter, More Stable Future for Higher Education
As we look ahead to the coming year, I wish for renewed stability and optimism across the higher education landscape. Our colleges and universities have weathered extraordinary challenges, and yet they continue to demonstrate resilience, creativity, and deep commitment to their missions. My hope is that 2026 brings greater enrollment consistency, stronger financial footing, and the breathing room leaders need to think boldly and strategically once again.
- Greater Awareness of the Full Strength of The Registry + ZRG
I also hope that more of our client institutions fully realize the expanded value we can now offer as part of ZRG. With the combined power of The Registry’s interim leadership expertise and ZRG’s global executive search and talent advisory capabilities, we are uniquely equipped to support institutions through every phase of leadership transition. My wish is that colleges and universities continue to see us not just as problem-solvers in moments of urgency, but as long-term partners in strengthening their leadership pipelines and strategic goals.
- Peace, Joy, and Rest for Our Clients, Families, and Friends
Finally, on a personal note, I wish all of our clients, members, colleagues, friends, and families a truly peaceful holiday season. At the end of a busy and demanding year, may you find time for rest, connection, and the traditions that bring you joy. We are grateful for the trust you place in us, and we look forward to serving you in the year ahead.
As we wrap up another year of meaningful partnerships and impactful work, I want to extend my sincere gratitude to each of you. Your leadership, your collaboration, and your confidence in The Registry continue to inspire us every day. We are honored to stand beside you in service to higher education, and we look forward to the opportunities and achievements the new year will bring.
From all of us at The Registry — and from me personally — thank you for being part of our community.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a successful, fulfilling year ahead!
