SASFAA’s 43rd Annual Conference
Approximately 880 people were in attendance for the 43rd Annual Conference held in Greensboro, NC, February 12-15 to unmask some of the complexities of financial aid. With over 50 concurrent sessions to choose from, a humorous keynote address by Roger Reece, the all-important federal update by Carney McCullough on recent actions by Congress, and many other activities, participants not only received a wealth of knowledge to take back to their office, but had opportunities to laugh and share with colleagues.

A special thank you goes out to this year’s conference committee, who put in many hours of hard work in designing the program and coordinating the conference activities on site. They are: Shannon Cross – AL, Anna Zawisza – FL, Deborah Clark – GA, Michael Morgan – KY, Laura Diven-Brown – MS, Rose Mary Stelma – NC, Bill Whitlock – SC, Janette Overton – TN, Pat Kelly – VA, Bridget Ellis & Tolly Tollefson – Local Arrangements Co-Chairs, Janet Sain – Hotel Liaison, Gary Mann – Lender Liaison, Crusie Lucero – Diversity Chair, Keith Reeves – Vendor/Sponsor Chair, and Heather Boutell – SASFAA Treasurer.

In order to continue to provide high quality programming for our members, we ask that you please complete the Conference Evaluation form located on the Conference website.
