Financial Officers

The Chief Financial Officers Society (CFOS) meets annually and has an emerging curricular focus on defining the CFO's role and vocation, understanding financial issues in theological education, budget planning, investment policies, liability and legal issues, personnel and human resources issues, professional ethics, and identifying best practices in a wide range of areas from overseeing construction projects to tax-exempt bond financing.

Its annual event features preconference seminars, eight skills/best practice workshops offered multiple times to fit your schedule, and plenary presentations. A steering committee of representatives plans and evaluates the annual conferences. The three-day conference is held in late fall in diverse geographic locations, and attendance ranges from 100 to 120.
