Southern Section Job-Alike Fall Education Event: Where Expertise Meets Connection

Join CASBO Southern Section this fall for an educational event built entirely around the work you do. While other conferences offer broad overviews, our regional gathering is uniquely built around job-alike groups. This means you will spend the day in specialized tracks alongside peers who share your role, challenges, and priorities—making every conversation directly relevant to your work.

While you are free to cross over and explore any sessions that spark your interest, our job-alike tracks allow you to explore role-specific solutions and actionable strategies. This year’s expanding lineup features critical, timely topics across key operational areas:

  • Accounting: Navigating audit best practices.
  • CBOs: Hot topics and current issues.
  • Executive & Administrative Assistants: Mastering modern technology tools.
  • Information Technology: Proactively preventing and responding to cyberattacks.
  • Maintenance & Operations/Facilities: Beyond work orders: building a strategic preventative/deferred maintenance program.
  • Payroll & HR: Managing complex employee leaves and reasonable accommodations.
  • Purchasing/AP: Protecting your district’s budget: seeing the full picture before you buy.

Beyond the classroom, the Southern Section Job-Alike event is a great hub for community connection. Attendees can expect a fast-paced CASBO & Legislative Update—delivered straight from our own Southern Section leaders to keep you quickly in the loop without the fluff. You can also expect valuable face-time with industry partners, participation from across the region, and a built-in networking lunch to strengthen your professional circle.

Come to our event and join a community of school business professionals dedicated to learning, sharing, and elevating California schools together. Save the date and start planning your fall with CASBO Southern Section!
