- Gene W. Milner, Sr.
While it is true that Milner roots itself in technology, our ultimate goal has always been to forge meaningful, long-term ties with the customers, partners, students, educators and nonprofit organizations that make up the communities we serve.
These relationships make us who we are: An engaged workforce dedicated to our Core Values. From the words of our founder Gene W. Milner, Sr., "The story of Milner is that of its people." This sentiment transcends beyond the four walls of our building to every business and organization who partners with us.
Milner encourages employees to support the organizations that mean the most to them. Our employees contribute time, resources, and skills to help build vibrant, resilient, and healthy communities. Milner team members participate in an array of nonprofit organizations through volunteerism, charity walks, and various fundraising events annually, and we, as a company, sponsor and support customer events that aim to raise awareness for causes we believe in.
Many families struggle to make ends meet, and every day some of those same families receive the devastating news that their child has a life-threatening illness. Since 2013, The Jillian Fund has provided financial support—including rent, car payments, insurance, utility bills and childcare expenses—to families of children with life-threatening illnesses. Over the years, Milner has contributed to the fund’s mission as an active participant and annual supporter of The Ride for Jillian, an annual event featuring the Patriots Pack, which has generated over $80,000 in donations.
Emory University has built a strong reputation as one of the nation's top-rated universities in sustainability. Founded in 2006, Emory's Office of Sustainability Initiatives (OSI) carries out this imperative by helping to restore the global ecosystem,
fostering healthy living and reducing the University’s impact on the local environment. As a proud partner, Milner supports the universities efforts by annual donation and proactively working to help reduce its carbon footprint.

Each year, we strive to make connections with the local YMCA's in each of the markets we serve to continue their mission to give people of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity.
As a technology company, Milner is always looking forward in anticipation of future needs and ways we can better assist our clients.
