• Association of School Business Officials
• Construction Specifications Institute
• NYS Library Association

ASBO International® is a professional association which provides programs and services to promote the highest standards of school business management practices, professional growth, and the effective use of educational resources.

The Construction Standards Institute is an association of approximately 17,000 individual members in the United States non-residential building design and construction industry.  They include specifiers, architects, engineers, contractors, suppliers, and building owners.

Our members represent all the disciplines engaged in non-residential building design and construction.  Founded in 1948, CSI is the only organization that serves all of these major disciplines.

CSI's mission is unique.  It's to continuously improve the process of creating and sustaining the built environment of non-residential buildings.  We strive to help everyone involved in that process to work together more efficiently.  How?  By fostering clear communication among everybody on the project team.  The communications channels we focus on are the written construction documents - how they’re written and how their content is organized.

The mission of the New York Library Association (NYLA) is to lead in the development, promotion and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning, quality of life, and equal opportunity for all New Yorkers.

The New York State Association for Superintendents of School Buildings and Grounds, Inc. (NYS SBGA) celebrates its 50th Anniversary in 2004.  In looking at our history, It is interesting that the organization evolved from a series of training programs offered at our SUNY schools.  Our commitment to professional development today is consistent with our early mission, and timely as the demands of the position grow in responsibility and technical complexity.

The New York State Association for Computers and Technologies in Education is an educational, not-for-profit organization which seeks to promote the effective use of technologies for quality education.  NYSCNTE fosters collaborative efforts to integrate technologies and instruction across the curriculum and disseminates information designed to assist educators in enhancing the management and effectiveness of the learning environment.  These imperatives are further detailed in our Strategic Plan.

The New York State Council of School Superintendents is a professional and advocacy organization with over a century of service to school superintendents in New York State.  The Council provides its more than 800 members with numerous professional development opportunities, publications and personal services, while advocating for public education and the superintendency.

Established in 1888, the BUILDERS EXCHANGE OF ROCHESTER today represents and is guided by a diverse membership that shares the common bonds of pride, leadership, professionalism and respect for a changing industry.  It is the only trade association that specifically serves the needs of the whole construction industry in west-central New York State.
