Examine the results of NACUBO's 2024 National Profile of Higher Education Chief Business Officers and the increasingly complex role of the chief business officer (CBO). Who is sitting in the CBO chair today? What skills do future CBOs need to be successful? How do we increase diversity in the CBO pipeline? Experienced CBOs will explore the results of the NACUBO study, share how aspiring CBOs can better prepare to take on new and broader roles at their institutions, and offer their ideas for expanding diversity in the CBO pipeline.

  2. Describe the essential skills and competencies for aspiring future CBOs.
