General Information and Committee Meeting Dates
During the past year, as a new committee, we have been organizing ourselves into several workgroups based on the purpose and direction given to us by the MASBO board. We have been fortunate to have a strong, experienced group of committee members who have provided valuable input into 4 key groups:
- Create professional and personal development growth opportunities using conference workshops for training sessions.
- Look into interest MASBO members may have in a state certification/licensure program while promoting current offerings of our national organization (ASBO).
- Provide leadership training for experienced members and continued, coordinated educational support for newer members,
- Assist in enhancing the MASBO website so that it continues to be a valuable communication tool for the membership.
