From M.Rinehart at sscok.edu Mon Nov 2 08:02:00 2020 From: M.Rinehart at sscok.edu (Melanie Rinehart) Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2020 14:02:00 +0000 Subject: [Oasfaa] Come Serve with US!! Message-ID: Good morning OASFAA! I hope everyone is staying warm and healthy! I hope you will allow me to intrude on just a couple of your precious minutes this morning to "talk" a little bit about OASFAA and the top 5 reasons why I LOVE serving on the board... I got involved with OASFAA because a good friend asked me to serve with her as a co-chair on the Conference Committee and I had so much fun! It was a challenge for sure, but how gratifying it was to see all of our hard work pay off through watching my fellow colleagues learn and network. From there I've held various committee positions and then last year was honored to be elected as your secretary. That brings us to this year and the Treasurer Elect position. Now I will fully admit that I was not "excited" about this position, but there was a need... I was asked and well... I have a hard time saying no. However, just in the short time I have served in this position, I am very excited about it because it is going to challenge to me to learn skills I've not tapped into before and I look forward to serving as Treasurer next year. So what does a Treasurer Elect do? Well... The Treasurer-Elect assists the Treasurer by learning procedures for the responsible receipt and disbursement of funds in accordance with the directives established by the Directors/Officers. The Treasurer-Elect assists the Treasurer in maintaining appropriate and adequate financial records and will assist in the preparation of the audited annual financial report to the Association. The Treasurer-Elect shall fully prepare for transition to the position of Treasurer by the end of the one-year term of service. So here are my top 5 reasons why I serve in OASFAA (I sincerely hope they might inspire/motivate you to serve)... 1. Lifelong friendships... when you work so hard on collective goals, you can't help but get attached to the wonderful people you serve with. 2. Bettering the profession and myself... OASFAA's main goal is to help educate financial aid administrators in Oklahoma to be the best FAA's we can be. There hasn't been one single educational opportunity that I haven't learned something myself! 3. It's fun... it's hard work, but we have fun doing it. 4. Networking... there have been soooo many times when I was stumped on a situation with financial aid that I was able to reach out to one (or more) of my OASFAA friends and got help solving/researching it. 5. It's a gateway to many opportunities... through my involvement with OASFAA, I have had the privilege of also serving with SWASFAA and getting to meet/know some of the NASFAA staff including Mr. Draeger and Mrs. Dana Kelly. Well if you've made it this far... thanks so much for reading! If you're ready to volunteer... just shoot me an email at m.rinehart at sscok.edu and we'll chat! Directors... I issue a challenge to each one of you to identify someone in your office that might be looking for some professional/personal growth opportunities and encourage them to volunteer! You and they won't be sorry! Sincerely, Melanie Rinehart, MBA FAAC Director of Financial Assistance 2701 Boren Blvd P.O.

From: NASFAA State Leaders [mailto:NASFAA_STATELEADERS at LISTSERV.NASFAA.ORG] On Behalf Of Beth Maglione Sent: Thursday, November 5, 2020 8:47 AM To: NASFAA_STATELEADERS at LISTSERV.NASFAA.ORG Subject: [EXTERNAL] Call for Volunteers: Thought Force on Under Resourced Schools Dear States and Regions: NASFAA is looking for volunteers for the Thought Force on Under Resourced Schools. With a membership of 2,800 institutions, NASFAA members come from all sectors of higher education and range in both resources and the types of students they serve. One of the challenges of the association is balancing affordability with the financial resources needed to effectively run a national association. Between November 2020 and February 2021, the thought force will work to develop a working definition of an under-resourced school, determine the scope of NASFAA members — if possible — that would meet that definition, explore and clearly identify the challenges faced by under-resourced schools, and broadly speaking, brainstorm about ways NASFAA could help meet the needs of those schools. Read through the full thought force charter and, if interested, apply to volunteer by 5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, November 6. https://www.nasfaa.org/volunteer_opportunities Thanks, Beth __________________________________________________________________ Beth Maglione | NASFAA | Executive Vice President 202.785.6944 | maglioneb at nasfaa.org | Join us on Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn Renew your NASFAA membership now.
