In early February, we’re now less than two weeks away from the 2023 NBOA Annual Meeting! More than 1,000 business and operational leaders in PK-12 independent school education will gather at the JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE. In addition to outstanding professional development, participants will commemorate NBOA’s silver anniversary and 25 years of advancing business and operations excellence.
Dozens of concurrent and deep dive sessions from industry leaders will provide unparalleled insights, while keynote speakers will dazzle and inspire. Business officers, heads of school, and school staff in every area of operations, including finance, human resources, facilities and IT, will find something to learn for this year and perhaps the next 25 years to come.
Here are some of the most anticipated sessions at the 2023 NBOA Annual Meeting:
