During CASBO Con 25, CASBO CEO Tatia Davenport asked someone who knows her better than anyone—her mom—what she does for a living.

The result was a heartwarming interview that perfectly captures the sometimes-mysterious nature of school business to those on the outside. Tatia’s insightful conversation sparked an idea: to shine a collective light on the vital, yet often unseen, work we all do. That’s why we’re launching this exciting new project, inviting all CASBO members to share their own experiences with the people who know them best.
