The fall season closes September 24–25 with the Business Leaders Meeting at Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach — two days for the chief business officials who keep California's high school districts solvent, staffed, and standing.
What two days look like
A CBO's world is where every promise a district makes has to reconcile — enrollment, facilities, food service, transportation, and a state budget that never stops moving. These two days put you in a room with the people doing the same math: honest conversation about what is working across the state, and a clear read on the legislation and budget decisions ahead that will shape your next fiscal year. No vendors pitching from the podium — counterparts comparing real numbers and real approaches.
Timed at the end of September, the meeting also gives you a working checkpoint on the year: how budgets adopted in June are actually holding, and what to watch as the governor's January proposal takes shape.
