Alexander Hamilton Awards

2020 was a year unlike any other, yet treasury organizations found many ways to innovate. In fact, the pressures that the Covid-19 crisis exerted on corporate liquidity, debt covenants, the supply chain, and other areas of business and financial management drove many treasury groups to explore solutions they might not have considered in a more typical business climate.

That is the story of the 2021 Alexander Hamilton Awards.

Treasury & Risk is now presenting the 2021 awards via a series of articles and webcasts. We have already presented three categories, with the fourth coming on June 2, 2021. So far, we have presented awards in:
