"Being a member of the Alliance since 2013 has allowed me to take a deeper dive into strategically budgeting to support our district’s board goals. Using the Cost Savings Tool to initiate those conversations with the other departments from the CFO’s seat helped build relationships and understanding from the academic side. The networking with other districts across the nation was extremely beneficial by sharing other cost saving strategies and realigning those funds through a prioritizing and decision-making lens."
