A Letter from your President...
The weeks are certainly flying along and for many of us the end of this academic
year is just around the corner. In order to plan and stay organized in the months
ahead I thought I would share some things that I hope you will find helpful:
- Pictures of all the OASFAA Executive Council members are now available for
your viewing pleasure at:
http://www.oasfaaonline.org/docs/toc_committees.html
We feel it is important to connect a face with a name when you have questions
or just want the opportunity to chat so the decision was made to add this new
feature to our website.
- A survey will be sent to all members the later part of May. You will have
the opportunity to provide input concerning training needs and the selection of
future OASFAA conference sites. I know everyone will have an opinion on this
one! Comments on training will help us in preparing the curriculum for the
workshops this year to best match the needs of our members. We are also
requesting feedback regarding the possibility of holding the annual conference
during the week instead of beginning on the weekend. So, please be watching
for the email notification and take time to register your opinion.
- Here are some dates to add to your calendar:
- Summer Drive-In Workshop – August 7th –
Multnomah Bible College & Seminary
- Support Staff Workshop – tentatively November 7th – Clackamas CC
- Annual Conference (2009) – Feb. 1,2,3 – Salishan
- Annual Conference (2010) – Jan. 24,25,26 – Red Lion in Portland
- OASFAA Executive Council Meetings – May 15th, July 17th, October 16th
and December 11th – Please feel free to contact us with any agenda items.
Please let me know if you have any questions concerning the information above.
I would love to hear from you! Take care.

Director of Financial Aid
