Each year MASBO directors seek nominations for the Association’s Outstanding Business Official which is presented during the annual summer conference in June and recognized again at the Montana Conference for Educational Leadership (MCEL) in October.
Nominees must be current, active MASBO members. Active members are school employees directly connected with business administration of schools in the State of Montana. The purpose of the award is to recognize those persons who have made major contributions as a school business official and to the association. The award includes a crystal plaque, a life-time MASBO membership (2012) and an embroidered jacket.
