MTA Excellence: 2021-22 Awards

Miller Tanner Associates (MTA) is talent empowered.  It’s what makes MTA such a special place to work – the collection of talent that believes in the same core values and comes together to create transformative event experiences for clients around the world. Our clients can find a personality they can connect with and the MTA Team crafts events that connect to all people, pronouns, and ranges of accessibility.  

“At MTA we try to celebrate each other every day,” shares Marnie Battistini, CEO, “but over time we realized that each year there are those of us that shine brighter and that bright beam of light should be celebrated in a more robust format.”  

Each year we recognize our award recipients at our annual Workshop held in July. Our five award categories are Story of the Year, Gift of Service, MTA Saver, Theme of the Year, and the Marnie Award. 

Congratulations to our MTA 2021-22 Award Recipients
