2019 Workshop for New Business Officers

Tuesday, June 11, 2019 to Thursday, June 13, 2019

Event Details

Are you a new Business Officer? Are you new to independent schools?

Every individual who assumes a new role needs to find their “tribe.” Those new to the business officer position need one more than ever, as they touch each and every area of an independent school. This virtual event will provide you with opportunities to learn the skills you need to perform your work, regardless of your location.

The MISBO Workshop for New Business Officers is designed to provide you with the critical tools you need to be successful. During this intimate learning opportunity, you will meet our exceptional faculty of independent school professionals and begin to build career-long relationships with both the faculty and your peers. Sessions on school culture, risk management, the complexities of HR, accounting, endowment, techonology, facilities, and an introduction to governance will place you on the path to success.
