For many School Business Officials (SBO),
professional certification is an achievement that reflects your superior
knowledge, experience, and status as a school business professional. Whatever
your motivation ASBO MD&DC’s courses, workshops, and education sessions and
seminars equip you with the knowledge and the qualifying credits you may need. Visit
asbo.org to learn more about the Foundation Classes and Best Ideas Group Forums!
FOUNDATION CLASSES
ASBO is about building
leadership and management skills in our current and upcoming public school
leaders which are critical to the effectiveness of our profession. This workshop
was established for all school business officials, for aspiring leaders in school and support services, bookkeepers and new employees engaged in the purchasing
activities including the decision making process of those activities, and the need
of a working knowledge of the rules, principles, and procedures for
governmental purchasing as it applies to Maryland Local Education Agencies
(LEAs).
BEST
IDEAS GROUP (B.I.G.)
The B.I.G. (Best Ideas Group) Forum is designed to be an informal opportunity to meet with colleagues
in your particular discipline of school business operations to talk about best
practices, discuss problems you’re encountering and learning about solutions
that have been found, make new contacts, and generally ‘talk shop’ with your
fellow SBOs. The agenda is set by you and a few warm-up questions are there to
get the conversation rolling. And it’s free to ASBO members. There is a modest
$10 charge for non-members.
