Members of the Verger team recently attended the 2025 NBOA Annual Meeting and were grateful for the opportunity to connect with, volunteer with, and learn alongside members of the independent school community. Verger was proud to be among a diverse group of more than 100 participating business partners who exhibited innovative services, solutions, and products, and proud to act as the NBOA Gives Back Charity Sponsor for the event.
This year, the gathering kicked off with a keynote address focusing on creativity, innovation, risk-taking, and resilience that left the Verger team and meeting attendees feeling energized for the days of learning ahead. Common themes across panels included the importance of focused leadership in the face of the changing regulatory and financial funding environments as well as shifting philanthropic trends. Panels also explored the challenges of effectively managing risk, attracting and retaining top talent, and responsibly using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in operations and capital management.
Verger has been honored to be part of the NBOA community over the years, supporting our mission to act as an extension of staff for our independent school, higher education, and other non-profit clients. We are proud to support the work of NBOA: Business Leadership for Independent Schools, its unique focus on supporting independent school business officers and business operations staff, and its important role in promoting and evolving industry best practices.
Verger’s Support of NBOA Gives Back
As a Gold Sponsor of this year’s annual meeting, Verger partnered with NBOA for the third consecutive time on the NBOA Gives Back program. This year, Verger’s partnership with NBOA Gives Back spotlighted the work of New York City based non-profit Good+Foundation and its mission of educational empowerment. Verger’s support made it possible for conference attendees to help assemble Literacy Kits benefiting over 1,000 students across 40 New York City classrooms. Our team and attendees loved the hands-on experience of assembling the kits and attendees were able to learn more about the charity and donate throughout the event, extending the reach of the NBOA Gives Back program.

Good+Foundation is a leading national non-profit that works to dismantle multi-generational poverty by pairing tangible goods and Family Cash Grants with innovative services for under-resourced fathers, mothers, and caregivers, creating an upward trajectory for the whole family. The organization partners intensively with a vetted network of social service programs to pair goods – such as cribs, car seats, and diapers – with counseling, employment assistance, co-parenting classes, and more.
Verger applauds this organization’s important work and NBOA’s platform for raising awareness and funds for this unique philanthropy. Partnering with the NBOA Gives Back program is a powerful way for Verger to contribute to the independent school community and further our mission – to invest in the lives of others.
Engage, Integrate, and Educate
At Verger, our client service model is built on three pillars: Engage, Integrate, and Educate. These pillars are the foundation on which the Verger team strives to be an extension of our non-profit clients' staff. This work includes staying informed of the changing landscape our clients face and up to date on topics impacting their organizations’ overall health. Conferences and industry gatherings are an important tool for continued learning and collaboration, and give our team valuable insights to better serve our clients.
Please join Verger in thanking the organizers and attendees of the 2025 NBOA Annual Meeting for the opportunities to connect and learn, and, importantly, spotlight the hard, behind-the-scenes work that generates positive impact for schools, students, and communities.
