Tripepi Smith has reaffirmed its commitment to local government excellence by sponsoring the Independent Cities Association (ICA) at its highest level as an Ultimate Sponsor for 2026.
The partnership began in 2021, when Tripepi Smith conducted a full website overhaul, and has since evolved into a strong and lasting relationship. As a partner, Tripepi Smith provides a range of services, including website and technical support, social media assistance and performance reporting.
“The Independent Cities Association is dedicated to empowering member cities through advocacy and education on public safety and infrastructure,” said ICA President and Hermosa Beach Council Member Ray Jackson. “Tripepi Smith has been an excellent partner, providing the creative storytelling and digital tools necessary to keep our members connected.”
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, ICA relies on business partners to support its biannual seminars for Southern California city officials. This sponsorship reflects Tripepi Smith’s belief in ICA’s role as a vital forum for independent cities. By managing the communications groundwork, Tripepi Smith enables ICA leadership to focus on legislative advocacy and regional policy.
“Strong local government depends on strong regional networks, and ICA has built one of the most effective networks in Southern California,” said Tripepi Smith President Ryder Todd Smith. “Our partnership reflects a shared commitment to helping cities communicate better, engage more meaningfully and lead with confidence.”
