Text Box: Getting Better at What We Do…

Text Box: “Working smarter...not harder” is often the prescription for more success and less stress.  Professional development should equip the school business official with the knowledge, skills, and resources to do what we do better—with more accuracy, more efficiency, and more relevance. Depending upon the experience and expertise of others is not a sign of weakness, but of strength and wisdom. The AASBO professional development program strives to provide this opportunity to its members (as well as school business officials at large) so that we can benefit from one another’s experience, insight, and creativity.
