THE TRISTAR TIMELINE

MEET THE FOUNDING STARS

Eric Reynolds

CEO

Co-CEO

Eric Reynolds

Eric began working with associations in 1993 and quickly built a reputation as a bridge builder. In the 20-plus years since then, he has earned the trust of hundreds of clients, creating the foundation for many of TriStar’s long-standing association partnerships. He has an undeniable gift for gab, but TriStar wouldn’t be where it is today without his ability to listen to our clients.

Robin Reynolds

COO

Co-CEO

Robin Reynolds

Robin’s dynamic vision touches every aspect of TriStar’s business. She’s a fountain of ideas, always devising innovative marketing strategies that marry past successes with the future needs of our association partners. She is TriStar’s driving force and she won’t stop working until every option is researched and every detail is executed to her exacting standards.

Jill Murray

President

Jill Murray

A 30-year veteran of the event media industry, Jill has seen it all. Her keen negotiating skills, network of relationships, and ability to juggle multiple projects is the stuff of legend. She keeps TriStar’s production department running smoothly and is quick to reach into her bag of tricks to assist other departments. She’s the ultimate team player, an attitude ingrained in TriStar’s culture.
