Olivito Tribute Video Delivered by Tripepi Smith
The California Contract Cities Association (CCCA) featured a tribute video about the career of Sam Olivito, long-time Executive Director of the California Contract Cities Association and recent retiree. The video was produced by Tripepi Smith on contract with the CCCA.
Tripepi Smith has been a partner of the CCCA for over five years, and during that time has produced their current promotional video and provided videography services at prior Annual Seminars. Tripepi Smith also produces the Contract Cities newsletter and partners on social media management for the organization.
“The CCCA does not forget our roots, and we wanted a fitting video to celebrate the long successful career of Sam. Ryder and his team at Tripepi Smith knows CCCA, knows the people who have been around the Association for years. He is a trusted member of the CCCA family,” said Lou La Monte, President of the California Contract Cities Association.
“Completing this video was personal for me,” said Ryder Todd Smith, President of Tripepi Smith, “I’ve known Sam since I first became involved with local government, and I was thrilled when the CCCA invited us to help celebrate his legacy and impact on cities here in California.”
Tripepi Smith staff conducted a series of interviews for the video with colleagues, staff and friends of Sam. Sentiments shared by those close to Sam were compiled into a highlight video, which was debuted at the Contract Cities Annual Seminar. Because of the volume of footage, a longer, 60+ minute version of all of the interviews was assembled for Sam and his wife Sharon to enjoy privately.
