Conversation Initiative 

Message: 
Dear SWASFAA Member:

At the forthcoming SWASFAA Conference in Little Rock, AR, 
NASFAA is hosting a special session focused on sharing 
information about the National Conversation Initiative 
(NCI). The NCI project will address the role that 
financial aid-and NASFAA-can play in creating a new 
roadmap for success in higher education, particularly for 
those most in danger of falling out of the higher 
education pipeline.

This session will be held Thursday, Dec. 11 at 3:30 p.m. 
at the conference hotel (The Peabody Little Rock). Room 
details will be in your agenda. Specifically, we are 
urging your engagement and asking you to share your 
insights, ideas and suggestions about the future of 
student financial aid in this country.

NASFAA's Federal Issues Committee and other stakeholders 
developed a background document and policy questions 
(http://www.nasfaa.org/PDFs/2008/NCI.pdf) that are 
intended to bring focus and specificity to the Listening 
Sessions. 

We recognize that the SWASFAA Listening Session-like 
others taking place across the country-is of a very 
limited duration and will not allow for feedback from 
everyone. Therefore, if you are unable to attend the 
session, or if you'd just like to respond in writing to 
all or part of the questions in the background document 
(either before or after the session takes place), you may 
certainly do so. NASFAA has set up a special mailbox for 
that purpose. Please send all feedback on NCI to 
nationalconversation at nasfaa.org by no later than January 
1, 2009.

Thank you in advance for sharing your opinions on this 
crucially important policy reform initiative. 

Sincerely,

David Page
SWASFAA President
