Continuing Education

School business is a very complex and demanding profession requiring a special set of knowledge, skills, and abilities. It is incumbent upon us to ensure that those that follow us have the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities. To that end, the Board of Directors of the Florida Association of School Business Officials (FASBO) has embarked on the creation of a Professional Certification Program. 

Recognizing the importance of attaining professionalism for school business officials, not only with regard to acquired knowledge and experience, but also in terms of the recognition and respect of peers and other professionals, FASBO’s Board of Directors established its Professional Certification Program in 2009.

The Program offers both acknowledgment and recognition for professionals at all levels of school business management. Certification is a way of recognizing those individuals with the background, training, and on-the-job experience to meet recognized standards of professional competence.

We are excited to be working closely with the Florida School Finance Officers Association (FSFOA) on preparing for a "super" fall conference. Both associations are looking forward to having our first joint conference in several years. This conference will be held in Jacksonville from November 4-6, 2024 at the Hyatt Regency downtown.
While we are working hard to complete the agenda, your ideas for session topics are still encouraged. We’d love for you to share with us what you would like to learn more about.
Please continue to watch www.fasbo.org for updated agendas or to apply for a scholarship. The scholarships are limited so apply for one today. This will be a conference you will not want to miss.
