DAVENPORT, Iowa, Nov. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lee Enterprises, Incorporated (NASDAQ: LEE) today announced Chief Financial Officer, Tim Millage, will depart the company early next year to answer a calling outside of corporate life. After nearly a decade of leading financial organizations in public companies, he will become an Executive Pastor at Coram Deo Bible Church in Davenport, Iowa.

I’m leaving to put my full time and full heart into serving the church,” said Millage. “I have tremendous respect for Kevin and the leadership team, and I have full confidence in the company’s direction and its bright future. The execution of the Three Pillar Digital Growth Strategy has already shown remarkable success and is transforming the composition of revenue, growing digital margins, and positioning the company for sustainable long-term value creation. I leave knowing the foundation is strong and the best is yet to come.”
