2017: The Gift of Time

Greetings! Welcome to 2017! Every year Miller Tanner Associates (MTA) begins the year with a theme. In 2016, our theme was “Efficiency” which we hope you’ll continue to see applied in 2017.

And we think we have a hunch as to why. We, as a company, personally value CSR because it fosters a sense of connectivity among our virtually-based global team members.
