The ERS-Consortium CFO Strategy Network is scheduled for December 10-11, 2019 in Fairfax, VA. 

Large Countywide and Suburban District Consortium members face particularly complex challenges given the heterogeneity of schools across each district. This can be especially true with regards to financial transparency and understanding resource equity. Our CFO network helps CFOs drive real change in member districts. This group represents the leading edge of district leaders thinking about adjusting resources based on student need, and the conversations driven through this network are increasingly structured to support that work.
