Business Officers' Network

The Business Officers' Network offers an opportunity to connect with your peers who work within the finance departments of independent schools and share insights, develop ideas and explore best practices.. Network formats can include two-day retreats or half-day meetings at member schools within the CIS Ontario catchment area.

Business Officers have access to a member's only Business Officers' Network Hub within CISO Connect, our member community platform.
