Tripepi Smith is headed to the 2025 California Public Information Officers (CAPIO) Leadership Summit, taking place September 25-26, in Newport Beach, California. Principals Katherine Griffiths, APR, Cameron Grimm, APR and Business Analyst Abby Romano will join public sector communicators from across the state for two days of learning, collaboration and professional growth.
Both Katherine and Cameron hold the Accreditation in Public Relations (APR), and the CAPIO Leadership Summit provides an opportunity to earn the continuing education credits required to maintain the credential — ensuring their communications expertise remains sharp and up to date.
“CAPIO continues to provide top-tier learning opportunities for those of us in public sector communications,” said Cameron. “We are looking forward to insightful sessions and meaningful conversations with industry peers.”
The CAPIO Leadership Summit is designed to empower both emerging leaders and seasoned professionals in government communications. This year’s program will explore how communicators can think strategically, lead with confidence and elevate their agencies’ public outreach efforts.
Tripepi Smith is a proud Diamond Sponsor of CAPIO and remains committed to advancing public sector communication through professional development and statewide collaboration.
