Thinking Outside Ourselves

A number of ripples can become a surfable wave. When a small deed is multiplied by the roster of an event the results are momentum toward change.

Events That Reflect Values — and Amplify Impact

At Miller Tanner Associates, we design events that do more than perform—they give back. By pairing smart sourcing, waste-conscious planning, and purpose-driven CSR experiences, we help brands meet ESG goals without losing momentum. The result is meetings that feel good, do good, and leave a lighter footprint with a stronger, more meaningful impact beyond the moment.

CSR Activities At Customer Events

We can activate attendees as much as we plan their experience — because a truly powerful event is one that looks outside itself.

Strategy First

Examine the goals of your event. Align your CSR efforts to reinforce your messaging.

Locally Sourced

The most effective and efficient CSR effort directly involves the locality where your event takes place.

Action Oriented

Walk the walk. When a CSR effort involves the act of doing, it not only helps others, but builds your team.

Mission Aligned

What does your organization believe in? Align CSR activities for all your events to your mission.

Meeting with Meaning

See how our customers are integrating CSR into their events...

As part of our customer's Global Commercial Leadership Meeting, the MTA team designed a collaborative CSR team building event supporting the Jack and Jill of America Foundation. Through this CSR activity, 150 attendees participated in friendly competition in which they had to work together in small groups to create country-themed Lego® projects.

About the Jack and Jill Children's Foundation: the mission of JJOAF is to invest in programs and services that create a strong foundation for children to thrive long-term. We believe that every child deserves access to quality education, healthcare, and a safe and nurturing environment.

What We Do As A Company

practicing what we plan

At Miller Tanner Associates, we don’t just design responsible events—we live them. The same sustainable sourcing, waste-conscious decisions, and community impact we build for our clients are embedded in how we operate every day. It’s how we ensure every recommendation is grounded in experience, and every event reflects values we actively put into practice ourselves.

best. day off. ever.

At MTA, each employee annually receives two additional paid days off to volunteer. How do we spend this time? See for yourself...

The Finance Team along with MTA's CEO, Marnie Miller Battistini spent the day volunteering with Nurses for Newborns of Tennessee. Leave it to the MTA Finance Team and CEO to get things done - organizing baby items and clothing, building shelving, and spending time giving back to the local community.

About Nurses for Newborns: NFN serves families in Middle Tennessee who need support around their pregnancy and care for their newborn with a goal to prevent infant mortality, child abuse and neglect.

Service with Soul at MTA means many things to our team, one of them being the opportunity to give back to our local communities. We value the volunteer hours we are provided each quarter to serve others, and those of us who live close to one another plan a team CSR to use some of our hours together.

Internal Initiatives

Less Swag, Tchotchkes, and Giveaways. More Caring.

Instead of handing out the usual landfill-bound items, MTA is making a donation for visitors to our booth during all Outsourcing Clinical Trials shows in 2025 & 2026.

MTA is proud to partner with Life Science Cares to aid in their mission.

making the grade

We completed the Sedex SAQ* (Self-Assessment Questionnaire), a critical online risk-assessment that discloses ethical, labor, health & safety, and environmental practices.

Sedex's solutions enable companies to continuously improve environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and outcomes, and meet their supply chain sustainability goals.
