Boardsmanship is Our Business
Education's complex challenges require leaders who can study problems from a variety of perspectives. Because societal and educational issues cut across disciplines and professional boundaries, school policy makers must possess a vast range of knowledge
and experience—school law, curriculum, finance, labor and community relations, policy and budgets, not to mention bond campaigns, lobbying, special education and parliamentary procedure.
Through conferences, workshops, drive-in seminars, and a year-round schedule of classes, MASB serves member needs for training. MASB helps new and veteran trustees build their knowledge and sharpen their boardsmanship and leadership skills.
