Welcome to EASFAA

Hello to all our EASFAA members. I am so excited for all the great work we will do together for this upcoming year. Thank you for electing me as your EASFAA president for the 2023-2024 year.

The mission of EASFAA is to promote and support the advancement of its members in higher education utilizing training, advocacy, education, and leadership development opportunities.

The EASFAA commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion declares that EASFAA in alignment with our mission statement says, “we are committed to building and sustaining a diverse and inclusive community of professionals regardless of racial and gendered identities, age, national origin, intellectual or physical disabilities, religion, sexual orientation, professional and educational level, institutional type, or any other uniquely defined characteristics in accordance with the Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.”

I look forward to working with you all and hearing your ideas for new training topics you would like to see for the upcoming year. In addition, we have seen what a success our mentoring program has been and hope you will sign up to be a mentor or mentee. Our committees have done some great work with the training topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, financial literacy, and professional growth to include succession plans, to name a few. We know our Federal Relations Committee will be working on valuable information on how to conduct Hill visits, as well as other available resources. All our committees play a viable role, and our conference committee is already working on our 2024 EASFAA Conference in Wilmington, DE. Each of our committees are aligning the goals with the current strategic plan. The strategic plan committee will also be working on updates to our current endeavors. We hope that you will each take the opportunity to join one of our committees and get involved. You can get involved by completing the volunteer form.

I look forward to a successful and impactful year! TEAM- Together Everyone Achieves More
