Welcome to EASFAA

EASFAA Friends and Colleagues,

This is a very unique time for our association, we are facing an ever-changing landscape with new regulations, travel restrictions and possible restructuring of college operations. We are all being pulled in new and varied directions and our time is limited. We as an association have weathered serious challenges many times before and like before the association and our members will come together to support each other. More than ever, we need to rely on each other and the strength of EASFAA and its members to navigate this maze. EASFAA is well positioned to continue to deliver you timely and helpful information through the Tuesdays at 2 webinar series that is offered to all members at no additional charge.

I personally invite each of you to volunteer and get involved. I can assure you from experience that any amount of time you put in will be rewarded. My EASFAA friends and colleagues are my most trusted and valued source of support. EASFAA is establishing a new Financial Wellness Committee to help our campuses deliver information on financial literacy to our students. Please consider joining this or one of our many other committees.

We are a more vibrant and effective association when we have a variety of perspectives, ideas, and experiences to share. I challenge you to continue to grow and develop; we have the right mix of offerings to support you. While we are in uncertain times, one thing remains sure and steadfast in my mind, we as financial aid administrators will continue to be a force of strength, reason and hope for one another and the students we serve.

Warmly,

Shawn Morrissey
2020-2021 EASFAA President
