As the California Municipal Revenue & Tax Association (CMRTA) moves into the year ahead, the Association and divisions across the state are focused on strengthening peer connections, sharing practical expertise and supporting members through timely programming and leadership transitions. Highlights from recent board discussions point to a year centered on collaboration, learning and thoughtful planning for the future.
Division 1 / Division 2: Practical Insights and Peer Exchange
Division 1 and 2 members will kick off spring programming with a March meeting in the City of Pittsburg, CA. The meeting will focus on peer-to-peer learning and timely updates, with discussions designed to share practical insights and real-world experiences relevant to revenue and tax professionals. This approach reflects CMRTA’s continued emphasis on providing members with useful, applicable perspectives they can bring back to their own agencies.
Division 3: Leadership Updates and Yearlong Engagement
Division 3 welcomes new board member Leslie Andrews, adding to the division’s leadership capacity and ongoing work. Members can expect a consistent cadence of meetings throughout the year, with gatherings planned for April, July, October and December. Programming will continue to prioritize information sharing, professional connection and discussion of emerging issues relevant to revenue and treasury professionals.
Division 4: New Leadership and Streamlined Programs
Division 4 enters the year with new leadership, welcoming Rosa Rosales as President. Upcoming meetings are planned for April, July and October, including a summer networking event at Petco Park designed to foster informal connections among members.
Looking Ahead to 2026
CMRTA is preparing for updates to its Certified Revenue Officer program management, with Board Secretary Rose Gibbons stepping into a leadership role to help streamline processes and support greater efficiency. At the same time, early planning is underway for the 2026 CMRTA Conference, with discussions focused on continuing to deliver opportunities for peer learning. The conference will be held Nov. 4-6 in Burlingame, CA. More information will be announced this spring on the CMRTA Annual Conference Webpage.
Together, these efforts underscore CMRTA’s ongoing commitment to providing a trusted forum for collaboration, practical insight and professional growth across all divisions.
