ACUBO Update

ACUBO Innovation Project

ACUBO represents a coalition of the five associations, dedicated to serving college and university business officers, that have agreed to work within a common "strategic framework" to accomplish collective goals. They include the national - NACUBO - and the four regional associations - CACUBO, EACUBO, SACUBO, and WACUBO.

Purpose of the ACUBO Strategic Framework: The purpose of a common "strategic framework" for the five associations is to assist with the selection of issues that merit a response from the partnering associations and the development of change initiatives within the ACUBO Innovation Process. The "strategic framework" serves as a planning tool within this process, and is not intended to restrain the boards of the individual associations.

Impact Vision

The impact vision articulates the desired outcomes for the ACUBO Innovation Process. It defines the benefits that the partnering associations hope to reap through their collaboration.

For higher education

  • Contribute to the improvement of sound business, administrative and strategic management practices in higher education
  • Act as a catalyst for the creation of new knowledge and innovation in higher education administration

For member institutions

  • Assist member institutions in responding to and managing change on their campus
  • Attain a deeper impact within each member institution beyond the traditional business officer constituency

For individuals at member institutions

  • More effectively meet the needs of business officers
  • Increase the use of technology in order to provide members easier and more reliable access to information
  • Develop career paths that proactively cultivate and attract the "next generation" of business officers For the ACUBOs
  • Support the mission of each of the five partnering associations via the delivery of high quality professional development programs
  • More fully develop the ACUBOs as a catalyst, facilitator and source of knowledge
  • Enhance the ACUBOs role as a credible contributor to higher education public policy
