BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Who Governs CACUBO?

CACUBO is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, elected by our members, comprising senior business officers from member institutions across the Midwest and North Central United States. Led by the President and an Executive Committee, the Board provides strategic oversight, ensures fiscal responsibility, and directs professional development initiatives for higher education finance professionals. To successfully carry out their responsibilities, the board:

  • Holds regular quarterly meetings and special meetings by teleconference.
  • Makes use of membership surveys and other assessment tools to gather feedback from our members.

Institutional Leadership & Governance

CACUBO is anchored by the expertise of its leadership. Our Board of Directors represents a diverse cross-section of public and private universities, community colleges, and comprehensive institutions. These leaders volunteer their time to advance the profession of business and financial management in higher education.
