TMANE is a professional association of over 275 treasury managers and treasury service providers in New England. 
Our goal is twofold:

• To provide our members with information, education and training in the latest developments in the treasury management field.
• To provide a forum for informal networking.

To keep our members current and to provide training we:

• Hold regular bi-monthly meetings with a special luncheon meeting in March.
• Provide educational sessions periodically throughout the year.
• Hold an annual conference for our members and other interested attendees.

We are governed by a Board of Directors, with a President, Vice President  and Treasurer / Secretary. The Board and Officers are volunteers to TMANE. They are treasury professionals, and bankers who provide services and consultation to treasury professionals.

TMANE  History
The association had its beginnings in the late 1970's, when a group of individuals decided to organize an association of cash management practitioners (similar to a New York City association already in existence) that would be headquartered in the Boston area. The Cash Management Association of New England, CMANE, was formally incorporated in 1981. The group of individuals, led by William E. Donoghue (The Cash Manager Newsletter), included: Ray Cioci (FNB Boston), Ellen Hurley (EG&G), Jerry Jussaume, (Idle Wild Foods), Richard Kelly, (then Assistant Treasurer, Commonwealth of Massachusetts), Robert Mayer (Coopers Lybrand), and Fred Williams (ITT Sheraton).

In the very beginning, as an incentive to grow the organization, a subscription to Donoghue's Newsletter included the dues for membership in CMANE. Also before incorporation, bankers and vendors were not allowed to be members since it was felt that they might use CMANE for marketing their products and services (however, this fear was quickly proved unfounded). In November 1981, Bill Donoghue was offered, and accepted, honorary lifetime membership in CMANE. In 1994, the Cash Management Association of New England became the Treasury Management Association to reflect the broadened responsibilities which cash managers had assumed.

Membership has grown such that TMANE is now the largest regional treasury management association in the country, with membership in excess of 300. Membership in TMANE has always been a bargain; in 1980 dues were $45. Since then dues have been increased only 5 times to the current rate of $175 annually.

CMANE's first conference was Info Expo 82 held in Hartford, Connecticut on September 15, 1982. In 1985, the association made a major commitment to providing a premier educational forum for its members and other treasury professionals by organizing the first Sources of Education conference. In order to provide an opportunity for treasury professionals of all levels of expertise to benefit, the conference length was increased to provide two full days of courses, at the basic, intermediate and advanced levels, spread over a three day period. This format allowed sufficient time for eight educational sessions as well as plenty of opportunity for attendees to interact with each other. The first Sources of Education conference was held June 1986. Since then, the conference has been held annually in Boston and attendance has increased to over 800 treasury professionals.

President's Letter

Reflecting upon past Presidents' Letters to gain inspiration for my own, and to make sure I'm not forgetting anything important, I am more aware than ever of the contributions made by previous presidents and board members to this organization.

Our 25th Annual Conference in May 2010 proved to be yet another outstanding year for TMANE. Feedback from the conference evaluation confirmed that we provided an extraordinary program with topnotch sessions, inspirational keynote speakers, and tremendous networking opportunities.

This coming year greets us with new challenges. More than ever, we need to further educate ourselves and enhance our knowledge, share our experiences, and ensure that we are on top of the latest developments and evolutions within Treasury and Finance. TMANE is committed to deliver this to you through our bi-monthly meetings, annual conference, and other ad-hoc educational seminars/webinars. As always, the TMANE board members are exploring new avenues to further expand our membership within the New England area. We are also committed to help advance our community by creating opportunities for students at nearby Universities, and help support local charities. We value our members’ participation and therefore, I encourage you to explore our site and become a member.

With ever more grim financial news on a daily basis, I would like to take this opportunity to share my sincere wish that the coming year will be for you and for our community a year of hope, strength, and renewed commitment to all that is good and excellent.

I am proud to have this opportunity to serve as your President, and I look forward to meeting you at our next meeting.
