The conference will be held on four days, running from October 14-22, 2021 from 10 AM CT to 5 PM CT (11 AM ET to 6 PM ET). NACSA’s Virtual Leadership Conference has drawn over 800 participants.

CSBM has partnered with Barbara (Barb) Acenowr, Managing Director for Operations and Finance at SUNY Charter Schools Institute for this presentation. Raj Thakkar, CEO and Founder of CSBM, is representing CSBM and presenting at this Conference. Their session, “Responsible Financial Management: Proven Practices that Lead to Optimal Performance” will take place on Friday, October 22nd, from 11:30 AM ET – 1:00 PM ET:
Have you ever wondered what it takes from the school’s perspective to manage finances responsibly? While each authorizer evaluates the financial performance of the schools in their respective portfolios, knowledge regarding the practices that lead them to those outcomes can be invaluable. This session will share the Fiscal Responsibility Method including the 10 CUREs and 50 Remedies for the common causes and symptoms of financial mismanagement, the #1 reason why charter schools are shut down. Authorizers putting themselves in “the shoes” of the schools they hold accountable will strengthen the sector. Attendees will learn from both a service provider who helps hundreds of schools and the finance leader of a prominent authorizer to gain both perspectives, which prepare, protect and propel charter schools with responsible financial management.
Together, they look forward to joining over 50 other sessions, 100 event speakers and 125 organizations that are represented at the Conference.
