Subject: [SWASFAA Team Chatter] Fall and Travel Season

SWASFAA Team Chatter has posted a new item, 'Fall and Travel Season'

Fall in Albuquerque means cooler evenings, changing colors, and best of all the Balloon Fiesta.  Next week, as I drive to work, the sky will be full of hundreds of balloons, I hope.  Got my fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate.   This year for me, fall also means travel to Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana for state conferences.  Looking forward to making new friendships and reacquainting with old friends.

After state travel, it's off to beautiful Oklahoma City for SWASFAA's annual conference, November 9 - 11, at the historic Skirvin Hotel.

Boot Camp committee members, Jan Terry-Sanchez and Jennifer Williams recently blogged about the awesome benefits Boot Camp offers.    I've been fortunate enough to have participated in NASFAA Credential training which Mendy Schmerer and Jennifer Williams taught.  SWASFAA is so fortunate to have such engaging, knowledgable trainers.The opportunity to test for 11 NASFAA credentials is such a financial savings, as Jennifer stated in her blog.

New at this year's conference is a "Town Hall" general session.   NASFAA and FSA representatives will be available to answer members' questions.  The Annual Conference Committee has designed sessions which are relevant to today's ever changing financial aid environment.  Do the three letters "PPY" ring a bell?

Local Arrangements Committee recently gave us a peek at the  fun activities they are planning. Be sure to dust of your 60's, 70's or 80's outfit for Thursday evening's event with "Super Freak".  Gee, the 80's is now considered vintage (old), how in the world did that happen!

Just a reminder, hotel reservations need to be made by October 7.  You can find more out about the conference and registration at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.swasfaa.org_docs_conferences_site_index.html&d=CwIDaQ&c=qRnFByZajCb3ogDwk-HidsbrxD-31vTsTBEIa6TCCEk&r=-Lnq0C7sCiFyP0whbJJ3dxf5JnVjhYZXejVPgZDRGLk&m=L9UasYI55mF8sz_PUy5eEPaR9ogzLwO-Ibnnlm8WrhA&s=l35IzwaG4TTHIbL83UTyXqEIJnH0b3cufQHwbWW2BQ4&e=  .

Keep on the look out for future blog postings about the annual conference.  See you soon Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana members!
