New Business Officer Intensive
 Depending on the path you took to arrive in the Business Office, there may be many areas of your job that leave question marks over your head. Do you know about current HR regulations? Do you have facilities maintenance in your professional background? Financial Aid? Business Officers, especially new ones, have a steep learning curve to get up to speed and MISBO can help you get there!
Registration is open for MISBO's 2014 New Business Officer Intensive - June 8-10, hosted by Woodward Academy, Atlanta, GA.
This conference is open to members and non-members alike for $295 until May 19, 2014. Alumni rates are offered for returning attendees.
The full program can be viewed here. Full event details and registration can be found at www.misbo.com/intensive. We look forward to seeing you in June!
