On July 16, over 60 treasury and finance professionals spent a summer afternoon at Harpoon Brewery on Boston Harbor and learned about how Massport’s Treasury Operations are handled. Whether you are flying for business or pleasure, connecting with friends, family or clients, shipping products cross-country or across the globe, or simply commuting to work each morning Massport is moving you. Thank you to Betsy Taylor, Director of Finance and Treasury at Massport,  for an informative afternoon!
