In addition to the formal agenda items and other information found on the links to the left, below are some of the fun activities that will occur during the conference:

SASFAA Guess Who! Enclosed in your registration packet will be a list of facts about SASFAA leaders.  Identify the members and then return your completed form to the registration desk.  A nominal prize will be given to the first ten correct entries!!!!! 

Presidential Puzzle - Enclosed in the registration packet each member will receive a puzzle piece.  Lisanne Masterson, SASFAA President, shares an abundance of appreciation to each member of SASFAA.  Without the support and involvement of each member, SASFAA would be individual pieces instead of a “MASTERPIECE.”  Bring your piece to the SASFAA Conference Support area and help complete the masterpiece.

Sunday Entertainment:
Come cheer on your state as the SASFAA “Battle of the States” face off in a friendly challenge of “Family Feud.”

Bring your door prizes to play in the traditional SASFAA “BINGO.”

Tuesday Banquet:
Dress the Year You Joined Financial Aid.  Dress for this evening is casual, but as SASFAA celebrates our 45th year we want you to join in the celebration by wearing business casual attire that represents the year you were hired into the financial aid industry.  For new comers you will feel right at home as you will come as if you are going into the office and for you “Old Timers” dig way back in your closets and dress as you did in the 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s.  We all hang on to those old clothes because of fond memories.  We are counting on you.  A special prize will be awarded to the “Best Dressed” of the evening.
