Mission

The Community College Business Officers Organization is committed to representing the business operations of community colleges that support every aspect of the education of traditional and non-traditional students, and are active partners in their communities. As such CCBO members serve as stewards of this critical element of any democratic society, often serving students among underserved populations. CCBO members insure that revenue used in behalf of their mission is maximized in its influence and effect on behalf of students. Members serve as stewards of both public and private funds that at all times require the proper administration and accountability for their use. CCBO recognizes that stewardship requires standards for both personal and professional conduct, use of resources, and the evaluation of their use. CCBO will lead in setting these standards for community colleges, and work with others to view standards in local, regional, national and international circles.
