Dear FASFAA Members:

It is with great pleasure that I will be serving this association for the upcoming year.  I look forward to the opportunity to serve YOU, the members of this association. Welcome to those of you that may be new to FASFAA; I look forward to meeting you at the Annual Conference in Orlando, FL next year.

We all work in an ever-changing environment; what was once simple is now more complex.  We as Financial Aid Administrators must begin to examine the interaction of financial aid among other financial aid professionals, student and parents.  Because of this, we must begin:

"Reimagining Financial Aid"

This next year the Executive Board will continue to focus on the importance of training for all levels of financial aid administrators and ensure that there is ample training opportunities available.  We want to ensure that FASFAA continues to be recognized through the state, not just in colleges, but in high schools, elementary schools and in the home.  We as financial aid professionals are here for the students, and it is important to make sure that our students know what FASFAA has to offer – from scholarship to outreach opportunities

We have an exciting year ahead of us and I look forward to serving and representing you.  I look forward to meeting each of you throughout the year and I welcome your comments and suggestions.  Please feel free to contact me or any of the executive board members; we are here to serve you and the association.

I look forward to a great year ahead and it is truly an honor to serve as your 2011-2012 FASFAA President.

Warm Regards,

Allison Beaver
