OACUBO is pleased to announce its theme for the 94^th Annual Meeting and Professional

Development Conference, scheduled for April 18-19, 2011 at Ohio Northern University. 

The theme is “Engaging Your New World”. 

As we look ahead, the next challenge for higher education business offices is our ability to adapt to a new operating environment.  Government regulatory change, fiscal constraints, and increased transparency and accountability will dictate how we approach our business every day.  Our focus will be on how we can embrace these realities and effectively engage our various constituencies. 

This year, we are tinkering with our schedule with the hope of providing more targeted information through additional break-out sessions and shorter general sessions.  We are also considering separate public versus private institution break-out sessions for certain topics.

·         Best Practices and Benchmarking – what does your Business Office do successfully that others may want to learn more about.

·         Campus Building and Construction

·         Compliance/Public Scrutiny/Transparency

·         Healthcare Reform

·         Faculty Training

·         Student Loan Rules

·         Dashboards

·         Trends in Business Offices

·         Form 990 Lessons

·         Purchasing Cards

We welcome any topics or ideas that will benefit higher education business offices.  And we welcome case studies from real experiences on campus.  Our hope is to provide a mix of presentations from both institutional and associate members.

In addition to the annual meeting, the call for presentations is also open for our quarterly webinars.

Our planning for the 2011 meeting is underway.  Please submit your ideas so that our membership can benefit from your experiences, ideas, and solutions.

Deadline for Annual Meeting topics is September 1, 2010.

Sincerely, 
Bruce Guiot, OACUBO President
