Join the NASBE Exchange

The NASBE Exchange is an informal gathering space for our members to connect and talk through the topic du jour from their state. Some months, the group is small and the conversation wide-ranging; other times, a member proposes a topic for a deeper dive. Every session is also a chance to connect with colleagues in your region.

Register for one meeting or all of them — most Exchanges take place on the first Monday of the month. Add the dates and links to your calendar now so you don’t miss out!
