2010-2011 Committees
Ambassador Committee: Laura Selvey, Ambassador Chair
Description: The main function and goal of this committee is to welcome all new FASFAA members at all FASFAA events including Regional Workshops, New Aid Officer Training and the annual Spring Conference. Some functions of the committee members during the conference include planning the new member reception, staffing the new member welcome table and greeting new members. At the workshops the committee members would welcome new members, talk about FASFAA and explain how to get involved within the association.
Conference Committee: Brenda M. Brown, Conference Chair
Description: The main function and goal of this committee is to plan and coordinate all training, professional development and networking activities held in conjunction with the association’s annual conference. The committee will be relying on FASFAA members to volunteer to assist in the planning stages and on-site to ensure a successful conference. We will send a “Call for Session Proposals” and be seeking volunteers to serve as presenters and moderators. However, on-site assistance at the conference provides many opportunities to volunteer - local arrangements (i.e. setup, logistics, community service project, etc.) registration, electronic services support, presenters and moderators. Consider volunteering, it’s a great opportunity to serve your association and an experience you will enjoy!
