2022 NBOA Professional Achievement Award Recipients

It is with great pleasure that we announce the 2022 recipients of the NBOA Professional Achievement Award, which recognizes the invaluable contributions made by independent school business, finance and operations staff who are not business officers. These staff members have made exceptional contributions to their school’s operations or financial health, and they were presented with the awards at their schools.
