Webinar: MISBO Unboxed: The Smart Spending + Strategy Box

One hour. Two power topics. Unlimited value.

Ready to level up your MISBO experience? In this edition of MISBO Unboxed, we’re tearing into the ultimate box of tools, insights, and time-saving resources every independent school should be using. First, Susan Kimmel, Director of the Purchasing Consortium will give you insider tips on using Partner Connect, School Scout, and contract tools to make your purchasing smoother, smarter, and more strategic (AKA: more savings, less stress). Amy McClellan, Consortium Manager, will walk you through the MISBO Digital Educational Resources portal and show you how schools are saving an average of over $5,000 on their digital resources.

Then Damian Kavanagh, President and CEO, joins the unboxing to reveal how MISBO Salary Studies and our on-campus workshops can transform the way your school approaches compensation, recruitment, leadership development, and long-term planning.

It’s your all-access pass to the resources that help your school save money, make informed decisions, and invest in your greatest asset - your people. Think of this as your “MISBO Mega-Haul” with two influencers for the price of one.
