Past Presidents, Officers and Directors

The status of any organization and its present condition is always a function of those who have come before. Since the founding of Illinois ASBO in 1951, the profession of school business management in Illinois has grown and prospered. While Illinois ASBO has many leadership opportunities available to its members: professional development committee's, chairs, regional groups, standing committees, task forces and others; the premiere leadership role is that of President. These leaders distinguish themselves while functioning as President and carry the title while wearing the past president pin with pride.
