As the foremost authority on school business, CASBO’s strength lies in the leadership and expertise of members who step forward to serve. Each year, our Sections elevate dedicated professionals to represent their regions on the CASBO Board of Directors, ensuring that the voices of school business leaders from across California help shape the direction of our association and the future of public education.

We are proud to introduce the newest Section representatives joining the CASBO Board of Directors. These leaders bring deep experience in school finance and operations, a strong commitment to local control, and a passion for advancing effective, student-centered business practices. Their service reflects CASBO’s governance structure, which includes Section State Directors from across the state working alongside our officers and committee chairs to guide the association’s strategic priorities .

As they begin their Board service, these new directors will help strengthen CASBO’s mission to promote excellence and professionalism in all areas of school business. We look forward to the insight, collaboration, and innovation they will bring on behalf of their Sections and the 30,000-plus professionals we serve statewide.
