Executive Leadership Collective
The Executive Leadership Collective (ELC) is an exclusive new professional development opportunity for financial aid leaders. The ELC will provide participants with the opportunity to discuss pressing issues in a closed-door setting, and interact with other noteworthy individuals from Congress, federal agencies, and the higher education community at large. By creating this group, NASFAA seeks to establish a community of financial aid leaders who will commit to championing the profession and leading at the intersection of ethics, institutional stability, and advocacy for student aid policy.
With each cohort of the ELC, this community of leaders will grow and there will be continued opportunities for participation and collaboration. Participation in the 2023-24 cohort includes:
- An in-person kick-off event in Washington, D.C.; August 31 - September 1, 2023.
- Registration for an exclusive track at NASFAA's Leadership & Legislative Conference & Expo in February 2024.
- Registration for the NASFAA 2024 National Conference, including special events celebrating this group.
- Five remote meetings/events, including a conversation with institutional leaders featuring deep dives into analytics and the future of work.
- Special access to higher education policymakers and thought leaders.
The ELC, through your participation and engagement will come together to collaborate, share knowledge, and drive strategy. Through the collective, executives can gain access to a diverse range of perspectives, experiences, and expertise. This will serve to identify new opportunities, navigate challenges, and develop more effective leadership strategies. Additionally, the collective will serve as a valuable networking opportunity, allowing executives to build relationships with their principals in higher education.
The $2,500 registration fee for the Executive Leadership Collective includes registration fees for both the 2024 NASFAA Leadership & Legislative Conference & Expo ($695 member price) and the 2024 NASFAA National Conference ($649 member price). Participant travel costs are not included.
Registration is now open and we encourage you to register as early as possible to secure your spot. Because we are limiting the number of participants, we will also limit registrations to one individual per school each year.
NASFAA extends special thanks to our Executive Leadership Task Force for their hard work and dedication to this inaugural program year.
