Text Box: Involved in Change...

Text Box: Education seems to be in a constant flux of change, which leads to legislative and policy adjustments which in turn affect the school business official’s role. As a group AASBO senses a responsibility to positively affect these changes.  Communication with legislators, state administration, and education department leaders is critical to that positive influence. Responsible involvement means providing clear and accurate statements regarding issues, as well as a complete and fair sensitivity to our members opinions and feelings.  AASBO strives to achieve this sensitivity from member involvement in committees that give input and direction to AASBO activities.
