Testimony & Board Briefings
A regular invited witness at the Massachusetts Legislature's annual consensus revenue hearings, I also brief the boards of banks, chambers of commerce, and civic organizations on the economic outlook — in recent years including HarborOne Bank, Webster Bank, South Shore Bank, Bank Five, Reading Cooperative Bank, and the Society of Municipal Analysts.
I welcome conversations about board and advisory service. Contact
