About CACUBO

The Central Association of College and University Business Officers (CACUBO) is a non-profit, volunteer-led organization that specializes in professional development in higher education to advance the missions of academic institutions.

OUR AIM: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Since 1909, CACUBO has worked to improve business and financial management in higher education, and to promote the profession’s ethics and standards. Today, as a trusted resource for higher education professionals, we continue to offer innovative and relevant development opportunities for business and financial management staff at all levels of colleges and universities.

Professional development in higher education takes many forms. We’re dedicated to helping our members advance their institutions and their careers by providing opportunities to cultivate valuable relationships and peer networks, and sharing resources and training that’s right for you. With CACUBO, college and university business officers at all levels can grow their professional networks, access relevant resources and best practices to apply at their institution, earn CPE credits, and discuss matters affecting our industry.

Leading institutions rely on CACUBO for career-long professional development in higher education, because our programming is built on quality, affordability and industry expertise. We are committed to advancing professionals in higher education by equipping our members with information and tools that are relevant – and widely applicable – to the challenges facing academia.
