Join your colleagues from across Wisconsin to learn about trends and innovations in school operations designed specifically for school facility, operations and maintenance and school business professionals! This one-and-one-half-day educational conference features 24 breakout sessions, including both core and continuing education courses for the WASBO Facilities Certification Program. We will also recognize our Custodian/Maintenance Professionals of the Year and kick off with an energizing keynote.
