Leadership & Legislative Conference
2012 Leadership Conference Details
The Leadership & Legislative Conference is an annual three-day event, held in the Washington, D.C. area, providing intensive preparation for NASFAA members in leadership positions or about to assume such positions. The Conference provides incoming state and regional leaders with professional preparation for a successful year in office, including:
- Organizing and planning the leadership year
- Legal, financial, and management issues every leader needs to know
- Choosing a winning team and mentoring others in the association
- Effectively advocating for student aid issues with elected representatives
- Exchanging ideas with state and regional colleagues in a intimate setting
The capstone activity of the Leadership Conference is a scheduled visit to Capitol Hill, where conference participants advocate directly with their congressional delegation on behalf of their students. Pre-conference preparation is required for all participants.
Attendance at the Leadership Conference is selective. Participants are identified by current state and regional presidents, and representatives-at-large to the NASFAA Board of Directors are also invited to participate. The Leadership Conference may be open to others on a space-available basis.
