Strategic Planning is the cornerstone for any organization to grow. As part of our committment to assist our members and those who support them, (you and our sponsors) FASBO held a strategic planning event in Orlando in early February. This event was facilitated by a former SASBO president, Brantley Thomas of South Carolina. The Officers and Board of FASBO spent a significant amount of time on our strategic plan thereby increasing opportunities for everyone.

Many of the school districts throughout Florida are experiencing extreme budget cuts and are restricting travel. FASBO recognizes that now more than ever there is a need for training and networking to share ideas on how to get through the next several years with reductions in budget and staff. FASBO recognizes and acknowledges this predicament and is providing scholarships to encourage participation. There are a limited number of scholarships to be awarded to cover the cost of conference registration and possibly 3 nights at the conference hotel. All conference attendees are eligible. The board of directors will review all applications and determine the recipients for scholarship awards.
