Awards

A salute to the outstanding members of the independent school community!

The NBOA Awards program was established to identify and encourage individual excellence in the management of independent school business and financial affairs, identify role models for the business officer profession, and contribute toward a positive perception of the profession.

Awards are selected by the Awards Selection Committee, which consists of the President & CEO, the NBOA Board of Directors chair and immediate past chair, and two previous award recipients. View the current Awards Selection Committee.
