The DER portal is open and our schools are shopping! Be on the lookout for some preliminary sales data from Amy within the next few weeks.
As always, we appreciate you, your content, and your ability to meet a deadline (we believe in you 🙌).

We want to provide plenty of opportunities to get your knowledge and expertise in front of our members...

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?
