CBISA Plus™ Advanced Training

CBISA™ Advanced Training is a course designed specifically for experienced CBISA™ users (Administrators, Coordinators, and Finance Personnel) that goes well beyond the “why” and “how” of data entry. This course is a full day, hands-on training with opportunities to connect with other class participants and engage in meaningful discussion about “lessons learned from the field” and best practices. All attendees should have a basic level of experience and understanding of CBISA™ (data entry, defaults, previewing reports) and community benefit (definitions, categories, importance). This training will help you take your community benefit reporting to the next level. You’ll learn how to effectively use the utilities built into CBISA™, discover important reports to share with your stakeholders, and explore topics like the CHNA, program evaluation, and the IRS 990H. A training manual, lunch, and snacks are provided.

Please note: This training course is for CBISA™ users.
