As an August 2000 article in the KC Star put it: “There’s Millie Edwards, and then there’s Millie Nottingham. Millie Edwards is the singer, a member of the Wild Women jazz vocal ensemble. Millie Nottingham is the AT&T manager, a member of corporate America.”

Millie attended Ottawa University (class of 1976) on a track and academic scholarship. She studied to be a music teacher, but after graduation she went on the road instead, singing in a Top 40 band. After several years she then decided to apply at Southwestern Bell. Millie started as an operator; then transferred to AT&T in 1984 when SWB divested. She then entered the management structure. During her 24 years with AT&T, Millie was a highly motivated manager with extensive experience in teambuilding, training/supervision, communication, quality, community affairs and managing high performance teams. While responsible for Broadband and UNE-P Maintenance/Repair for 50 states, she also worked to earn her Masters in Education from Rockhurst University.

Millie has been teaching with MCC-Penn Valley as an adjunct since January 2007 and joined the faculty as a full time Reading instructor in 2010.
