In an effort to promote and recognize new approaches to problems facing college and university business operations, RBC Capital Markets has joined with CACUBO to announce the CACUBO RBC Capital Markets Best Practices Award Program to recognize colleges and universities who have successfully developed a best practice to respond to a particular problem. The RBC Capital Markets Best Practices Award Program is intended to showcase the best of college and university business officers' efforts in creating better, more efficient, and customer friendly business practices. Through this new program CACUBO wishes to share good ideas and new approaches within its membership institutions.

The 2009 competition will select ONE finalist to showcase their "best practice" at the CACUBO Annual Meeting on October 4-7, 2009 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The participant/institution with the overall "best practice" will receive an honorarium of $1,000. Two runner-ups will receive $500 each.

Colleges and Universities business officers wishing to compete in the RBC Capital Markets Best Practices Award Program may submit a proposal by February 1, 2009. Interested parties should visit http://www.cacubo.org for submission guidelines. Questions? Please submit them to bestpractices@cacubo.org.

Submission deadline is February 1, 2009.
