Long-time member Dian Dawson, RTSBA, Business Services Accountant from Region 17 Education Service Center, is retired after 24 years at the end of August. She TASBO.ORG was kind enough to share a few words about her time with TASBO: I have truly enjoyed my membership in TASBO over the last 24 years, especially teaching TASBO classes and serving on the Certification Committee for more years than I can remember. I have made lifelong friendships across the state as a member of TASBO. I came away with a multitude of information that was instrumental in my career at ESC17. All of my TASBO experiences assisted me with my jobs here at ESC17 and with district assistance. It is always beneficial to see that there is more than one way to do the same thing and have the same and sometimes better outcomes. I wish only the best for TASBO and its continued growth and mission to assist school districts to become more financially accountable and knowledgeable in their endeavors to educate our students across Texas. Thank you for your willingness to help when I called with questions and problems. You have assisted me in solving countless problems in my region. TASBO resources are the very best! 21
