If you're ready to grow professionally, expand your network, and become a leader on campus, in your association, or in the financial aid profession, you won't want to miss the NASFAA 2021 Leadership Symposium. We've got two distinct pathways for you to choose from based on your interests. The Association Leadership pathway was designed for those elected to — or considering — association leadership at the state, regional, or national level, while the Leadership Strategies and Realities pathway was created for decision-makers that manage staff, processes and/or engage with campus leadership on enrollment and student success. This training is offered over the span of five weeks, from February 2–March 2, 2021, and all webinars will be available to registrants for on-demand viewing after the live air date. Take a peek at the tentative agenda for a look at the sessions. Space is limited; register today!
