 The Texas Association of School Business Officials [TASBO] congratulates Lou Spiegel, Associate Superintendent for Business & Governmental Relations at Mansfield ISD, on her nomination for the 2007 Commitment to Excellence Award.

Each fall, TASBO research committees and affiliate organizations recommend nominees for this award. Those nominations are forwarded to the TASBO board of directors, who vote for the winner in a blind process based on the nominees' commitment to TASBO, the profession of school business and operations, and to the community.
