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.
