From now through October 8, we’re continuing to accept applications for state leadership service on our 2022-23 Board of Directors. It’s been an astounding 18 months of COVID scrambling, and we know you’re still in the throes of school reopenings — an exciting milestone that you’ve been working hard to meet for a very long time.

Once you’re on the other side of that important activity, how would you like to use the new talents you’ve developed during the pandemic to do something not only for yourself, but for our association and on behalf of all of California’s students and schools? If that sounds intriguing, we’d like to invite you to explore the possibility of volunteering your time as a CASBO member-leader next year!
