ASBA’s Butcher planning COSSBA training events

Dr. Anne Butcher, who until this year was ASBA’s board development director, is now working parttime to develop training for the Consortium of Butcher State School Boards Associations (COSSBA).

The 22-state COSSBA was created this year by state associations that were dissatisfied with the National School Boards Association’s financial mismanagement and lack of transparency and responsiveness. COSSBA’s and the Southern Leadership Conference’s documented board member hours are the only national level credit hours approved for ASBA.

Among the events Butcher is helping plan is COSSBA’s Annual Meeting, which will be March 30 through April 1, 2023, in Tampa, Florida.
