<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning OASFAA!!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have you been looking for a way to network and make connections at the regional level? There is a great opportunity to do so by volunteering with SWASFAA! There are a few committees that are seeking for volunteers from Oklahoma. You or
your school does need to be a current SWASFAA member, however, the dues are minimal compared to the benefits you and your school will have access to as members. For membership information go to…
<a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fswasfaa.org%2Fdocs%2Fmembers%2Fmemberbenefits.html&data=02%7C01%7Ckaren.jeffers%40tulsacc.edu%7C096f570a2dac4b32ca6208d5a603ae7a%7Ceb5d9dc493c645578c2390ef7fa05b96%7C0%7C1%7C636597457112724400&sdata=%2FIRFio0WiDCHYCbGdclq8zFaC%2F7Q5YHEWOrw1yiNS3s%3D&reserved=0">

Convention Center. Most of the committee meetings will occur via conference call throughout the summer and fall, but there will be a site visit to Little Rock planned sometime over the summer. Anyone interested in serving on the committee can contact Emily
Patterson at <a href="mailto:epatters@uark.edu">epatters@uark.edu</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The greatest asset we have as professionals is each other! Please consider getting involved at either the state or regional level to strengthen your connections and build your network of professionals that you can lean on for guidance
when the need arises. <o:p></o:p></p>
