October Partner Playbook: Promote, Report & Wrap Up
October is a busy month at MISBO, and there are a few important opportunities (and reminders!) to keep on your radar as we head deeper into the school year.
Winter Conference sponsorships are open! If you’re looking for a great way to get in front of MISBO members this winter, now is the time to reserve your spot. Sponsorship opportunities are available for our upcoming winter conferences and are a great way to increase your visibility, connect with school leaders, and make the most of your MISBO partnership. Don’t wait too long—some opportunities fill quickly! Email Susan at susankimmel@misbo.com to learn more!
Keep those volume reports coming. Accurate and timely volume reporting is one of the most important pieces of our Consortium partnership. Your reporting helps MISBO track member engagement, measure the value and savings we’re delivering to schools, and identify opportunities to help grow your business. As you close out the quarter, please make sure your MISBO sales are up to date.
DER season is wrapping up! As we come to the end of another Digital Educational Resources season, now is the time to make sure any final orders, invoices, and outstanding details are buttoned up. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped our schools stretch their educational dollars a little further.
October may be busy, but it’s also full of opportunities to finish strong, stay visible, and keep building relationships with MISBO schools. As always, if there’s something we can do to help you make the most of your partnership, reach out. We’re here to help!
As always, we appreciate your partnership.

Where Girls Become Women Who Transform the World
Notre Dame Preparatory School educates and empowers girls to become women who transform the world. As a Catholic, independent, college preparatory school for girls in grades 6 through 12, Notre Dame Prep inspires students to pursue academic excellence, spiritual growth and the practice of justice. Infused with the spirit of the School Sisters of Notre Dame and rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church, the NDP community strives to answer God’s call “…to act justly, to love tenderly, and to walk humbly with God.” (Micah 6:8)

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?
