November Partner Playbook: Grateful for YOU!
November is the season of gratitude, and we have plenty to be thankful for—especially our incredible Consortium Partners! Your expertise, engagement, and commitment to supporting MISBO schools are what make this partnership so special. We appreciate YOU!
As we look ahead to 2027, there are some fantastic opportunities to connect with our members through sponsorships at these incredible upcoming events:
- Facilities & Auxiliary Programs Conference
- Human Resources Retreat
- CFO Retreat
These events offer meaningful opportunities to build relationships, share expertise, and get in front of the school leaders you want to reach. Interested? Reach out to Susan directly at susankimmel@misbo.com to explore the opportunities!
Have some expertise to share? We're always looking for valuable partner insights and practical tips to feature in our From Our Wonderful Partners (FWP) blog! It's a great way to showcase your knowledge while helping our member schools tackle everyday challenges. Have an idea? Send it my way!
From all of us at MISBO, thank you for being part of our consortium family. We're grateful for your partnership and excited for what's ahead!

Hillel Day School of Metropolitan Detroit
At Hillel Day School, we inspire a passion for learning, self-responsibility, community and Jewish living in a warm, innovative and engaging environment.
Through a rigorous dual curriculum of General and Jewish studies, our students learn to think critically, work collaboratively, and embrace Jewish joy in their daily lives.
Established in 1958 by Rabbi Jacob Segal (z”l) and other leaders in the Detroit Jewish community, Hillel Day School began with a handful of students and their parents who were pioneers in the Conservative day school movement. The group worked tirelessly to turn their dream of a Jewish day school into reality, and a wonderful legacy was born.
Today, Hillel is a thriving institution with nearly 650 students from preschool to eighth grade. We welcome children of all Jewish affiliations.
Norwood School
Norwood School is a coeducational independent day school with approximately 450 students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The school sits on 40 sprawling acres in Bethesda, Maryland, less than six miles from Washington, D.C. As one of the finest PK-8 schools in the country, Norwood sets the bar high and is committed to educating the whole child–intellectually, socially, and ethically–in a student-centered, challenging, and nurturing environment.

I'm a new Consortium Partner - now what?
Once MISBO receives your signed contract, we will start the new Partner Onboarding Process. We want you to feel comfortable and supported as a MISBO partner. The on-boarding process looks something like this:
- We will schedule a meeting with key players from your company to meet Kaleigh Smolinski, MISBO Director of Professional Development, and Amy McClellan, Consortium Manager. This brief but beneficial meeting will help show you all the different ways you can interact and get exposure to our members.
- We will schedule your introductory MISBO Partner Webinar or Video Interview with Susan Kimmel. If you are a digital resources partner, please contact Amy McClellan to schedule your webinar. This webinar will be hosted by MISBO and registration information will be gathered and shared with you - your first warm leads from our members! We will also record the session, feature it on your password-protected partner web page and promote it to our members.
- MISBO will send out a New Consortium Partner announcement to our members, with a link to register for your webinar.
- We will schedule a strategy call to talk about what success will look like for you, and how MISBO can help you achieve that success!
- Send additional promotional material to Amy McClellan. This promotional material will be highlighted on your password-protected page and our Fun With Purchasing bi-monthly blogs. We encourage you to send us information monthly to promote.
How can I submit a proposal for the MISBO Webinar Series?
MISBO is accepting presentation proposals for future series. Please contact Kaleigh Smolinski for dates and additional information. If you have questions regarding our webinar series, contact Kaleigh at 404.921.3812.
Can I host my own sales webinar?
You can host your own sales webinar and MISBO will communicate it through our normal channels.
Why aren't email addresses on the monthly contact spreadsheet?
At MISBO, we have over 150 consortium partners and nearly 4,000 school contacts. And, while we love our partners, it would not be beneficial to our members or YOU if our school contacts received mass emails from all of our vendors. If you have specifically targeted marketing for a group of schools, please contact Susan, and we can help you figure out the best way to reach them.
Where can I find the MISBO Consortium Partner Logo to co-brand my promotional material?
