<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I wanted to pass along some information from the recent SWASFAA board meeting and get some feedback and input from the group. In the past, if a corporate entity wished to attend SWASFAA and not exhibit, they would merely pay the normal registration fee and attend the conference. However, the SWASFAA board has adopted (or at least tried to clarify an existing policy) the policy of now requiring a non-exhibiting organization to pay a "non-exhibitor" fee of $1,500 to attend the conference. This would mean any organization that is not a school (i.e., lender, servicer, guarantor, consultant, software vendor, state dept of ed / regents, etc.) would not be able to attend unless this $1,500 fee was paid as a non-exhibiting organization.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thoughts and comments? I think this will knock out several people from attending if this policy stands. By the way, SWASFAA this year is in Little Rock.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Enjoy the weekend!</FONT>
