Pathways and FAAC Forum Overview
The NASFAA Leadership & Legislative Conference & Expo provides four pathways to choose from so registrants can tailor their experience to best support their professional goals. In 2022, we're also pleased to introduce a fifth training option exclusively for those who hold the FAAC® designation.
Association Leadership Pathway
Ideal for anyone interested in assuming a leadership position at the state, regional, or national level, this track will cover legal duties and best practices for successfully managing and leading a financial aid association. Volunteering for a professional association – at any level – is an exciting professional activity with many benefits for volunteers, their institutions, and the students they serve. Financial aid associations across the country depend on the talents and energy of volunteer leaders to carry out the association's activities. This pathway will have new programming for the 2022 conference.
