Pathways Overview
The 2021 NASFAA Leadership Symposium provided two individual pathways, based on participant interest:
- Association Leadership, the pathway for those elected to or considering association leadership at the state, regional, or national level.
- Leadership Strategies and Realities, the pathway for aid administrators who are decision makers that manage staff, processes and/or engage with campus leadership on enrollment and student success.
