The MASA Finance Academy
for new, newer, and aspiring superintendents

Back by popular demand! In response to feedback from our members and aspiring superintendents, MASA has developed an academy focused on finance topics especially relevant to the superintendency. These three sessions will provide opportunities for reflective leadership and skill development, equipping participants with the tools and strategies needed to succeed in the role of superintendent.

These sessions will be integrated with the MASA Great Start sessions and will be offered with the gracious support of Baker Tilly and Ehlers. 

If you are already registered for the Great Start Cohort, there is no need to register for this academy as it is included in the Great Start Cohort experience.
