Global Issues
The purpose of the Global Issues Committee is to enhance the inclusivity of its membership to reflect the demographic of the student population we serve. In addition to increasing diverse membership and participation, the Committee will also be responsible for engaging members in thoughtful interactions regarding inclusivity, informing the general membership of the concerns and issues of diverse members, and ensuring diverse representation on the various FASFAA committees and offices.
