A Message From Our President
Happy New Year! I hope everyone’s year is off to a great start. The 42nd Annual Conference is almost here. The theme this year is A TREASURE CHEST FOR SUCCESS, and we have fulfilled MASBO’s mission by bringing you four days of excellent training, motivational speakers, idea sharing, networking, and lots of fun.
MASBO membership has grown to over 600 members with the majority of our members attending the conference. Please take this opportunity to network with each other as well as our guest speakers. There are very few opportunities to personally meet our support teams from the various state agencies that come to share their expertise. And we certainly could not have a conference of this caliber without our vendor sponsorship. Please make sure that you visit the vendors throughout the conference and show them your appreciation.
We also have some exciting news to share about the future of MASBO and how it will benefit our members.
We want the benefits of a MASBO membership to be felt throughout the year and not just at the annual conference.
So please make your plans to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!
– Stacey Graves
