SBO Webinar Series: Building a Strong Relationship with the Board
Oct. 28, 9–10 a.m.
The relationship between the board and the school business official (SBO) is key to improved budget planning and a stress-free environment so the board can focus on what matters most, student learning, and school business officials can focus on financial management. We're inviting all school business officials (especally SBOs new to the job) to join IASB for this free webinar where we’ll discuss how to build and maintain a strong relationship with the board. This informal discussion will include time for SBOs to ask questions. The webinar will be recorded and provided to all registrants after the event. Webinar participants earn five Better Boardsmanship credits.

Join IASB and your peers for the annual Day on the Hill for advocacy training, issue briefing and lobbying at the Capitol. Day on the Hill is a unique opportunity to tell your elected official your district’s story.
