Report from Georgia (GASFAA)
Freida J. Jones, President

Greetings SASFAA Colleagues:

The Georgia Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators welcome the Southern Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators to “HOTLANTA” for our 42nd Annual Conference in February. Brent Tener (Conference Chair) has been working with Lisa Mitchem and Todd Woodlee

(co-Local Arrangement Chairs) in an effort to bring about the best possible conference. The GASFAA membership is pleased to host the SASFAA conference this year. May the excitement be as SWEET as a Georgia PEACH.

Georgia’s Fall Conference will be October 28-29, 2004 at Brasstown Valley Resort in Young Harris, GA. Nestled in the quiet rolling hills of the Blue Ridge Mountain, preparations are being made to welcome our members, President Janet Sain, and other guests.

Jill Rayner and her Conference Committee have done an excellent job in putting this conference together.
Our Conference theme is “Georgia Mountain Festival…Harvest the Knowledge”. There will be a New Aid Officer’s Workshop conducted just prior to the start of the conference. Thanks to David Bledsoe and his committee.

GASFAA Executive Board and Committee Chairs for 2004-2005:
