Who We Are

Tricia Murray is a dedicated nonprofit professional with a dynamic background in law, arts administration, and community development. Tricia holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Boston College and a Juris Doctor from Suffolk University Law School. After a successful legal career, she transitioned into the nonprofit sector, bringing her talents to the List Visual Arts Center at MIT, where she supported visitor services and archival initiatives.

As Director of Communications at the Community Development Partnership, Tricia leads strategic communications to elevate the organization’s visibility, strengthen stakeholder engagement, and support fundraising and programmatic goals. She oversees branding, digital presence, and content creation across platforms, while capturing compelling stories that highlight community impact. Previously, as Manager of Business & Credit Programs, Tricia expanded outreach to BIPOC and immigrant-owned businesses, provided technical assistance to entrepreneurs, and managed microloan and fisheries programs. Her work has consistently focused on advancing economic opportunity and equity through strategic storytelling, partnership building, and program delivery.

Tricia’s commitment to civic engagement is equally impressive. She is an elected member and Vice Chair of the Brooks Free Library Board of Trustees, Chair of the Harwich Voter Information Committee, and a member of both the MassHire Cape & Islands Workforce Board and the John F.
