Attending the NASFAA National Conference for the first time can be an overwhelming experience, even more so if you are attending alone. We want attendees to have a great time and come back year after year. While NASFAA has always hosted a welcome reception for first-time attendees, we continue to look for creative ways to help first-time attendees connect with colleagues. All members of this task force will be required to attend NASFAA 2023 in San Diego and participate in conference mentor activities prior to the conference and on-site. If this sounds like something that you would be interested in, please review the task force charter on the volunteer information page and complete the volunteer form by Friday, March 17, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. ET.
