Anita Case
Asst. Director of Financial Services
Anita Case is a native Phoenician and has worked for four other school districts prior to accepting her current position at Cartwright. Prior to working in purchasing, she assisted in several kindergarten classes as a Paraprofessional as well as helping run a preschool program at Centennial High School. These experiences, as well as hours spent volunteering in her own children's classes, have given her a clear understanding of how procurement impacts the students within the District everyday.
Since becoming a procurement professional, she has discovered how much she truly enjoys this part of public education; she explains, "Insuring compliance with state and federal requirements may sound tedious to some, but I believe it is a crucial part of instilling trust with our stakeholders. I appreciate the difficulty in adhering to the myriad requirements and strive to be a positive, helpful resource for all our District personnel." Anita has been a member of AASBO (Arizona Association of School Business Officials) for several years and has presented at previous conferences.
