SACUBO to Celebrate 100 Years

History

The organizational meeting for what would later become the Southern Association of College and University Business Officers (SACUBO) was held at the faculty club room in the library building of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday, May 14, 1927.

Eight business officers representing seven institutions of higher education attended the inaugural meeting and set the course for a new organization – a course that has held for almost 100 years. Planning started immediately, and the first annual convention was held at the Henry Grady Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia on April 20, 1928, establishing a foundation for forging alliances and the sharing of information with and among business officers.

Celebrating a Century, Innovating for Tomorrow

SACUBO’s 100 Year Celebration will kick off at the 2027 Annual Convention in Atlanta with a focus on celebrating and honoring SACUBO’s history. The yearlong celebration will conclude with a gala at the 2028 Annual Convention in Nashville with the focus to bring SACUBO into the next 100 years.
