[Oasfaa] FW: [swasfaaL] SWASFAA Membership Renewal Time for 2015

[Andrew W. Hammontree]

Hi everyone,

January 1st marks the beginning of the new year for SWASFAA membership.  (I know, I know, it's confusing that we run on a calendar year instead of a fiscal year, but that's how it was set up a long time ago.)  Information on how to renew your SWASFAA membership is below.  We're trying very hard to provide training throughout the year, so it's important to renew your membership now in order to take advantage of the upcoming spring events.  In the next few months we will have a webinar on verification that is free to SWASFAA members.  Later in the spring we will offer Mid-Level Training in Arlington, TX.  Anyone who attends Mid-Level Training will be eligible to take free NASFAA credential exams in Direct Loans, R2T4, and perhaps other subjects areas still to be determined.  Mendy Schmerer is chairing this event, and we will post more information as soon as we iron out some more details.

I look forward to serving another year in my role, and I hope to see lots of my Oklahoma friends at the training events.

Thanks,
Andrew Hammontree
SWASFAA President

Happy 2015 to the SWASFAA Membership!

It is time for you to renew your SWASFAA membership dues for 2015, but before you do, I wanted to share some updates with you about SWASFAA for this year that are exciting.  President Andrew Hammontree will be continuing his blog to keep the membership updated, so please visit it at http://swasfaa.org/b/.  This was started by Andrew at the beginning of 2014, so it is fun to go and read about this past year and a welcome for this new year.

In addition to our blog being a success during this past year, we will continue to be offering some webinar training throughout the year.  The Training Committee will be conducting these Best Practices webinars free to our members.  You will be sent registration information and more details closer to each of the webinar training sessions.  Please remember that you must have paid your membership to sign up for the webinar.

Our annual conference and boot camp planning are already underway for Albuquerque, New Mexico.  The boot camp will be held November 2-4, 2015 with the conference being held November 4-6, 2015 at the Sandia Resort and Casino Hotel.

We look forward to you renewing your membership or joining your regional association by February 28, 2015.  To learn more about the benefits of SWASFAA membership, please visit our website at http://swasfaa.org/docs/members/memberbenefits.html along with the membership application being available at http://www.swasfaa.org/docs/forms/memApp.html.

Attached is a helpful sheet to provide guidance of how to keep your institutions membership database updated, so please reference this or let me know if I can assist.

Please feel free to let me know if you need any assistance with your membership renewal or where to begin if you are new to our association and would like to learn more at tsavoit at mcneese.edu.

Taina Savoit, Chair
SWASFAA Membership Committee
