Subject: Special Invitation to our OASFAA Colleagues from TASFAA


Dear Kristen and Emily:



Good morning! So nice to visit with you earlier this week! As I mentioned during then, we would like to extend a very sincere invitation to participate in our state regional trainings to all OASFAA members. I’d like to pass along some more information....



In two weeks, the Texas Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators will be offering FREE training on topics related to the administration of financial aid and professional development at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches. This event, which will also be held in Fort Worth, Houston and San Marcos, is a part of our mission to assist with financial aid training opportunities – and we’d like to share it with you.



I invite you and your staff to join us for a time of learning, sharing and friendship.



1.       Where can I find more information?

http://www.tasfaa.org/docs/toc_regiontraining.html - Agendas and other details should be added to the site in the next few days.

Texas Regional Training | TASFAA<http://www.tasfaa.org/docs/toc_regiontraining.html>

The official website of the Texas Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators - TASFAA, the professional association for the state of Texas.


2.       Do I have to be an active member of TASFAA to participate?

No. We welcome everyone – in- and out-of-state. Members will benefit from free meals, BUT non-members are welcome. (If interested, the membership annual rate is a mere $200 per institution.)

3.       Do I have to register?

We ask all members to register at least one week before the event so we can have your food voucher ready. Registration link is on the webpage above.

All non-members are asked to contact JoEllen Soucier (joellen.soucier at hccs.edu<mailto:joellen.soucier at hccs.edu>) or DeRodrick Jonkins (derodrick.jonkins at hccs.edu<mailto:derodrick.jonkins at hccs.edu>) or me as soon as possible so we can expect you. Then check in at the registration table when you get to the event. Questions? Just send us an email!!!

4.       What about parking?

Parking space will be available at each location at no charge. Information will be available on the webpage referenced above and at the training location. Volunteers will be there to help and guide you.

5.       Are meals included?

Members will receive vouchers for lunch. Food court is in the immediate area for non-members.

6.       Who will be there?

You! Participants and trainers will depend on the location. Most sites will have representatives from the Dept. of Education, vendors and trainers from around Texas and the Southwest – participants will depend on the location and day.

If you have a list of member institutions and email addresses for their respective directors/leaders, I will be glad to send an invitation to each one. If not, please pass this invitation along to your members – all are welcome!



I look forward to seeing you soon! And as always, please let me know if I may ever be of service!
