“Tripepi Smith has had the opportunity to work with a wide array of special districts. These agencies provide critical services to California communities and our partnership with CSDA has offered a great pathway to open up our engagement in this space,” said Saara.
Tripepi Smith recently joined the CSDA membership as a top-tier Gold Level Business Affiliate member. While Ryder previously attended the CSDA 2021 General Manager Leadership Summit, this will be the first CSDA Annual Conference for the Tripepi Smith team.
