Ralph Martire, executive director of the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability, school board member and a familiar face at division dinner meetings, will present “The Future of Illinois & State Funding” at four of this year’s meetings. Finance will also be the topic for Jim Burgett of Stifel and Michael Jacoby, executive director of the Illinois Association of School Business Officials.
Each Division Dinner Meeting also offers networking opportunities and updates from IASB staff, directors, and resolutions chairs on resolutions, legislative updates, and other Association activities. Some divisions may also offer school facility tours or breakout sessions.
Brochures detailing the 2016 Spring Division Dinner Meetings’ panels, schedules, and locations will be mailed and posted online.
