CASFAA Executive Council joins the call to end systemic racism, racial violence against communities of color, and honors the right of free speech and non-violent protest. In support of CASFAA’s mission, we promote a culture of diversity and inclusion to all our members and the students we serve. Our membership consists of Financial Aid professionals from diverse backgrounds and experiences, servicing students in urban, rural, traditional and progressive areas. Our diversity gives us strength as an organization. CASFAA shares a fundamental understanding that there is no room for racism. We are in discussion about what we must do to effect change within our organization and in society. We ask and challenge you with the task of working together and collaborating across all races, cultures and ethnicities to effect change. We cannot rely on people of color to bear the burden of change as confronting racial inequalities is a lifelong endeavor that we must all pursue. We can use our influence to advance equity, inspire healing, create empathy, and understanding to bridge differences and to remove barriers for the health of our society. CASFAA is proud of the diligent work that we do to serve our members and to ensure the students we serve succeed in their educational endeavors.

The 2020 CASFAA Conference Committee is in full swing preparing for the upcoming conference: Connections…Bridging the Gap. At this time we are not certain whether it will be in-person, on-line, rescheduled or a combination of all. But we need your help to develop a program that meets your needs. As an association whose mission includes a tradition of providing quality training to the membership by the membership, we rely on you to share your expertise, best practices, pains and gains.

Do you have expertise you can share with your CASFAA colleagues, or know of a colleague who has done a terrific session and is willing to offer it? Have you recently attended a session that you thought your colleagues could benefit from? Is there a topic that you would really like to see a session on or see repeated from a past conference? Submit these ideas on the following proposal form today!
CASFAA 2020 Interest Session Proposal Form
- If you know of a strong speaker with a topic your colleagues could benefit from, see if the would be willing to present. You can also submit their information and topic and we can try to reach out to them.
- If you have a topic you'd like to see covered, share with us some of the questions you'd like answered as well as anyone you think has the expertise (if anyone), and we'll try to track down an expert.
In order to help your colleagues make decisions about whether to attend, we'd like to have a rough program to offer by early to mid July, so please let us know as soon as you can. If you have questions or just need to submit ideas and proposals, you can contact either of the program co-chairs. We would be happy to discuss your session ideas and help you develop them.
We look forward to hearing from you!
