Annual Meeting

The annual meeting held each fall provides a setting for direct interface with fellow business officers, speakers on matters of general interest, seminars on selected topics, as well as information and exhibits sponsored by our business partners. Below are some of the presentations that have been made available for you to view. In most cases, it is best to save then open the content of the presentation.

Collegiate Management Institute (CMI)

The two-year Collegiate Management Institute (CMI) is designed to provide leadership development opportunities for higher education personnel from a wide variety of campus departments. It is an intensive program that encourages individuals to develop essential competencies leading to professional, technical, and personal growth. The Institute curriculum builds from day one to the last day of year two through custom-designed courses and activities delivered by nationally and internationally known faculty. CMI’s unique strength is the higher education based case-study work involving group interaction throughout the week. This requires students to immediately apply what they are learning in class to professionally relevant issues. Participants leave with a new level of knowledge in technical areas, a new appreciation for working with others, and with many new friends.

St. Louis Professional Development Workshop

The St. Louis Professional Development Workshop is a quality professional and personal development opportunity for all levels of higher education staff members and focuses on those skills and technical competencies needed to succeed in current positions or in the assumption of greater institutional responsibilities.

Higher Education Accounting Workshop

The Higher Education Accounting Workshop is designed to provide participants with an introduction to the college and university accounting concepts and the basic format used by institutions in their financial statements. The workshop targets accounting and financial administration personnel with a need to develop a greater understanding financial reporting.

Current Issues Workshop

The Current Issues Workshop Committee plans, delivers and evaluates low-cost professional development workshops offered throughout the CACUBO region on timely topics.

Best Practices Program

Best Practices is a program to showcase best practicies of college and university business officers' efforts in creating better, more efficient, and customer friendly business practices at CACUBO's Annual Meeting and disseminate program submissions to CACUBO's membership.
