Welcome Colleagues!

In 2016, EASFAA celebrated it's 50th Anniversary - what an impressive accomplishment! I am excited to lead EASFAA as we embark on our next fifty years and continue to expand our suite of professional development opportunities.

EASFAA Leadership met in June for our annual retreat to begin planning events for the 2016-2017. The Council is working on several logistical items this year including updating Policy and Procedure Manuals and the next Long Range Strategic Plan. The Strategic Planning Committee will be sharing a survey with membership to gather feedback, and I encourage you to respond. The details will help us in creating a stratgic plan to allow EASFAA to grow, change and be innovative.

Each EASFAA Committee is working closely with the Training Committee and Conference Committee to provide a wide variety of training topics to meet membership needs. Watch for details on training and on our 51st Annual Conference to be held in Burlington, Vermont in May 2017.

The key to EASFAA's success is your participation. If you are interested in volunteering for a committee, please submit a volunteer form.

I look forward to an exciting year ahead. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly at president@easfaa.org with any of your thoughts, ideas or questions.

With all best wishes,

Wynette Zuppardi
2016-2017 EASFAA President
