The California Municipal Revenue and Tax Association (CMRTA) tapped Tripepi Smith to assist with association management and sponsorship support across the organization. Tripepi Smith’s Principal Jennifer Vaughn, Business Analyst Madeline Wilson and Junior Business Analysts Sydney Fitch and Courtney Koç each contribute to the outreach and support efforts.
In collaboration with CMRTA, Tripepi Smith has expanded the reach and frequency of social media communications, produced a monthly newsletter for the general membership, supported annual conference planning and coordinated with current and prospective sponsors to promote the organization and deliver benefits.
“We’ve trusted Tripepi Smith with the execution of key communications and logistics across our organization, and they have exceeded our expectations,” said CMRTA President Ricky Hawblitzel. “From communicating with sponsors, to creating the annual conference program and refreshing our membership brochure, Tripepi Smith has been a pleasure to work with and is a trusted partner.”
In 2024, Tripepi Smith led CMRTA’s roll out sponsorship tiers with increased and improved benefits. These tiers have drawn support from many returning and new sponsors, allowing CMRTA to continue offering key benefits to the organization.
In the planning and marketing of its Annual Conference in Ontario, California, Tripepi Smith handled many internal and external conference logistics, communication outreach via social media, email and the monthly newsletter and designed graphic collateral materials for the event.
“It has been incredibly rewarding to see the impact of our efforts with CMRTA,” said Madeline. “The organization is reinforcing its position as a key organization for finance staff throughout the state by producing consistent, quality communications and benefits for both members and sponsors. We are very proud to have been part of CMRTA’s mission and vision, and are excited for future opportunities with the organization.”
