Your community welcomes you.
Founded by independent school business officers for independent school business officers, NBOA is committed to understanding your challenges and providing you with accessible, affordable, top-quality resources to strengthen every aspect of your school’s business operations. By joining this vibrant and generous community of peers, you will exchange ideas, discuss common challenges, leverage valuable research and tools, and identify effective and sustainable solutions for your school.
Regardless of your role within the independent school community, membership in NBOA is exceptionally value-rich.
If you join as an independent school’s business officer or other staff, any colleague at your school may also take advantage of membership benefits, including accessing online resources, attending webinars and receiving the magazine. If you’re a retired business officer who wants to stay connected to the community, there’s a special rate for you. And if you represent an association or corporation that is passionate about independent schools, we have a membership category for you, too.
