Please come as our guest to enjoy cocktails and networking, hear an update on the MSCPA’s strategic plan and welcome the
2016/2017 MSCPA Board of Directors. We will also be hearing a short address from Ron Walker, Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development, on
how Massachusetts brought GE home. As our guest, you are welcome to enjoy a round of golf prior to the event, at an exclusive discounted rate
of $125 per person. It’s a great way to celebrate the spring season, kick off the 2016/2017 membership year and make new connections at a
stunning venue.
