Many of our Board Member Certification (CBA) classes are eligible for reimbursement through the Michigan Department of Education. Local schools districts may receive up to $100 per class per board member. Each qualifying class has a one-time reimbursement per board member.

Please note that only local districts are eligible for reimbursement from MDE through the state aid payment system. Use MASB's training reimbursement checklist for help with submitting your request to MDE through the GEMS/MARS program.

For trainings that aren't eligible for MDE reimbursement, members can apply for support through the Member Assistance Fund. Applications should be completed within 45 days prior to utilization. 

Learn alongside your entire board and receive a whole board registration rebate after the event. For whole boards that attend ALC together in person, MASB will offer a rebate equal to one full conference registration fee for an active board member.

This rebate is applicable only to board members who register and attend the full conference. The rebate will be approved and reimbursed after the event.

No refunds are given for cancellations within seven days of the event; substitutions may be made in lieu of cancellations. All cancellations must be submitted in writing and will be charged a $25 cancellation fee.

We value your attendance.

MASB reserves the right at any time and in its sole discretion to cancel this event or limit capacity due to actual or threatened acts of God, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, government regulation, strikes, failure of public utilities, unusually severe weather, or other similar cause beyond the control of MASB making it illegal, impossible or inadvisable to hold the event as advertised and presented. If capacity is limited, MASB will process in-person registrations in the order they are received until reaching the capacity limit and then all other registrations shall be processed to allow for virtual attendance.

Registration and attendance at, or participation in, MASB’s conferences, CBAs and other activities constitutes an agreement by the registrant to MASB’s use and distribution of the attendee’s image or voice in photographs, videos, electronic reproductions and audio recordings of such events.

School board members and school district staff are not eligible to register as guests. Guests are not eligible for education credits or SCECHs and must be identified as a guest during the entire event.

MASB makes every effort to keep costs for programs and services as reasonable as possible for members.

To help with that effort, and out of respect for all  our registered attendees, we ask that you please understand the following: 

• All meal functions are for registered attendees only.
• Attendee name badges are required during the entire event. (Board Member Certification Classes, General Sessions, Clinic Sessions, Delegate Assembly, Meals, Receptions, etc.).
• Meals provided by MASB are to be consumed in the designated meeting space identified for that portion of the programming.
• Food and beverage items are not permitted to leave the meal function room unless already agreed upon by MASB staff.

Out of respect to our speakers and facilitators as well as to protect your investment, please do not record any MASB CBA, Preconference, General or Clinic Session, event or workshop. We encourage you to take photos and share them on social media with the hashtag #ALC2023.
