Maintaining ACA Compliance After Transitional Relief: Now that many of the Affordable Care Act’s most significant transitional relief items have expired, it’s more important than ever for employers to ensure they have the support they need to navigate the ACA’s compliance obligations. The moment of realization has arrived and many schools are beginning to understand the complexity of ACA. Common issues ranging from compatibility between time-tracking systems and the missing information from payroll vendors have become universal obstacles. Now, it’s time to meet with experts for an audit ready solution. In response to the growing number of questions and concerns over the ACA, the Association of Business Officials MD/DC [ASBO MD/DC], American Fidelity Assurance Company [AFA] and My Benefits Channel, invite you to attend the 2016 ACA Workshop. (Registration closes August 1, 2016)

This year, ASBO established a new Award to recognize Ken Nickoles’ accomplishments, dedication to ASBO, and commitment to its ideals and those of the school business official profession - the Kenneth W. Nickoles Emerging Leader Award.
Ken (member number 21) retired from the District of Columbia Public Schools as Director, Office of Labor Relations after 27 years of service, including being spokesperson on all matters involving labor relations. He also developed the first drug testing program for school employees in the nation. Ken has served in every leadership role in ASBO MD&DC, starting as an Assistant Section Director and Assistant Liaison, up through President in 1981. He has not missed a single Spring Conference until a hospital stay kept him away in 2015. As he did here in his home state, Ken worked his way up through the ranks at ASBO International and was elected President in 1993, only one of two members of our organization to ever have attained this leadership role. Ken is the epitome of a leader and his dedication to ASBO values are not exceeded by anyone.

"It’s a great conference!" "I’m learning a lot." "Wish my coworkers could be here with me." "It’s really hard to decide what sessions to go to!" These are some of the comments we heard at the 64th Spring Conference in May at the Ocean City Convention Center from the 350 registered for the annual event.
There were a number of exciting changes this year. Hotel accommodations were shifted to four of the Harrison Group oceanfront hotels (and the Bayside Princess was still available for those who prefer the bay side) and the Sunday Night Welcome Gala, held in the beautifully decorated ballroom (thanks Conference Arrangements Committee!) of the conference hotel, the Holiday Inn at 67th Street, was attended by 440 members. Our business meetings and keynote speakers shifted to the new Performing Arts Center at the convention center and over 250 attended the ASBO Night Out (Monday night this year) at Phillips. And, for the first time, conference goers could download a mobile app and create their own schedule, stay on top of what was trending at the conference, and post comments about what they found particularly interesting at the 48 education sessions.
