FASFAA PRESIDENT'S WELCOME MESSAGE

Welcome to the 2025 FASFAA Annual Training Conference!

I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2024-2025 conference at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando. This year, we are Galactic Guardians of a Whole New World, navigating new territories in financial aid with Care, Innovation, and Advocacy. This event will provide the opportunities we need to engage, learn, and collaborate with fellow professionals.

The Conference Committee has worked tirelessly to create a program full of insightful sessions and networking opportunities. Starting from the pre-conference workshops with NASFAA credential sessions, the Director’s Summit, and the LEAP cohort’s recap to engaging conference topics and professional development panels – there’s something for everyone. Be sure to meet new people, exchange contacts, and make the most of your time at the event— in financial aid we’re stronger as a community.

A huge thank you to our Business Partners for the various ways they continue to actively participate and collaborate within the association! You’ll find them contributing to sessions, offering valuable expertise, and contributing holistically in areas that impact your day-to-day operations and strategic planning. Be sure to connect with them, not just at their booths but throughout the conference, as they share insights that can benefit both your office and the students you serve.

We will also continue the tradition of supporting the Bonnie Pirkle Scholarship and this year’s charity. I invite each attendee to help raise funds for these amazing causes. Let’s combine our efforts to make a real difference!

I look forward to seeing everyone in Orlando as we explore new territories in financial aid together. Let’s make this another conference to remember!

Warm regards,

Mia Mwango
