Description: Finance and Business Operations Section Council (also includes Human Resources) - Works to support ASAE’s professional interest section for association finance, business operations and human resources professionals by identifying pertinent areas of content related to financial, human resources, and administration/operations management issues. The group also creates content and works to foster a sense of community within the FBO Section. The group’s work includes brainstorming potential topics and authors for FBO/HR topics for electronic articles, virtual programs, peer networking; specialized professional development and two section discussion groups (FBO and HR) in Collaborate, ASAE’s online community. This group requires two face to face meetings each year, a kickoff meeting on Sunday, October 15, 2017 from 5:30pm-7:30pm prior to the Associations@Work Conference on October 15-17, 2017 and a Spring Meeting in Washington, DC on Wednesday, May 16, 2018. New appointees to the council are required to attend the in-person kick-off meeting for the group on Sunday, October 15, 2017 in Baltimore, MD at the Baltimore Marriott Inner Harbor at Camden Yards. (The second face-to-face meeting is typically one day in length in Washington, DC. Council members are expected to attend these meetings at their own expense.) Also, as the council helps choose the proposals for each FHRBO Conference, council members are strongly encouraged to attend the conference itself, October 15th- 17th. Projects for FY 2017 - 18 include:
