75 Years of Insight. Performance. Investment.
Reflecting on the Past. Looking to the Future.
In 2021, CMT celebrated a 75-year history of delivering value to our clients and opportunities for our people. To us, 75 years means honoring the legacy we have helped our clients and staff to build. But it also means looking to the future.
What legacies will we build together in the next 75 years?
75 Years of Delivering our Mission and Values.
FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
CMT began in Springfield, IL, in 1946 as three partners and a dream. Holed up in a small, second-floor office with no air conditioning and a temperamental landlord, Len Crawford, Pat Murphy, and Ray Tilly gave the firm a trial run of five years. Tilly even kept his day job until 1948, when it was clear that CMT was viable.
A lot has changed since 1946. However, the one thing that has remained constant is our values, particularly our dedication to our people, whether they be clients or staff.
REVISITING OUR LEGACY, REINFORCING FOR THE FUTURE
Over the course of 2021, CMT released a series of videos that revisit the core values that enabled us to reach 75 years. We heard from many of those who have been at the center of CMT’s success—our people.
