Committee Purpose & Goals
The purpose of the Federal Issues Committee is to provide information, support, and insight to the CASFAA membership on federal law, regulation and sub-regulatory guidance. Additionally, where appropriate, we seek to provide similar information and insight to the Department of Education and our Congressional delegation regarding the CASFAA membership’s perspectives on federal issues. Our goals are to:
1) Provide training and professional development opportunities to members, to enhance their service to students.
2) Be proactive in protecting the interests and rights of California students by fighting for educational access and serving as an authority in the State on student aid issues for policy makers, the media, and other educational partners.
3) Serve as a catalyst for knowledge sharing and advocacy through networking, conferences, and volunteer opportunities.
