Think about boosting a new employee’s confidence!

Don’t wait… get them all registered today! Just go to www.swasfaa.org, then click on Training, then on Boot Camp and then on “Register Today”.

They hope to select one person from each of the six regions, and I see no reason why it shouldn’t be someone from Oklahoma. Some of the benefits are: * Complimentary registration to the NASFAA Annual Conference and a stipend to be used on hotel, meals, travel (included is an invitation to come early and observe at the NASFAA Summer Board Meeting); * Complimentary registration to the NASFAA Leadership Conference and a stipend to be used on hotel, meals, travel (included is a crash-course in legislative advocacy, via the Hill Visits program); * One free online NASFAA U course, plus the associated credential test, to ideally be used within the DLP program year; * Assigned a mentor who has previously served on NASFAA's Board of Directors; this will involve regular mentorship calls; and * Hold a place on one committee, working group or task force for each participant, to ensure volunteer experience.

As you know, last year marked a very successful year for our inaugural Diversity Leadership Program (DLP). Every one of the participants have already landed a spot on a board or are in some way contributing at a high level in association work (state,regional or national). One recently gave birth, so we are batting .833, but, I see the program as a 100% win for everyone! Now in its second year, NASFAA's Diversity Leadership Program (DLP) is seeking six new participants to receive a robust portfolio of benefits, mentorship, and guidance to aid in their development as financial aid association leaders at the state, regional, and national level. DLP aims to advance the careers of individuals from identified under-represented groups in the association and create a strong and diverse pipeline for association leadership. Applications are due Sept. 27, 2019 – one week from today – and we need your help to create candidates from every region! Here’s the link to the information and application: https://www.nasfaa.org/diversity. Please refer to the DLP webpage for more information about program benefits, the applicant selection process, and eligibility criteria. Tap into your states and regions and lets generate another solid group of diverse leaders! After all, "part of this board's responsibility is to provide for its own perpetuation." Appreciate you all and all that you stand for! Together, we stand even stronger! Thank you for your assistance!
