I had a wonderful experience earning the CBO Certification. The materials have been invaluable in my career and broadened my knowledge of school business. It was a great confidence builder. Networking is a much-needed support system for a CBO. – Mary Downey, Deputy Superintendent, Business Services, Sonoma COE
