This season is the perfect time to reflect on the incredible individuals who have made (or will make) a lasting impact on our Association. Your nominations ensure these dedicated members receive the recognition they deserve. Without your input, their hard work might go unnoticed - so don’t be a Grinch! Take a few minutes to participate and spread some cheer.
Nominations are due Friday, January 30, 2026 @ Noon!
These awards, as well as Years of Service, will be presented at our annual WASFAA Conference, March 18 - 20, 2026 at the Osthoff Resort, Elkhart Lake, WI. We hope to celebrate with you there!
If you are a financial aid administrator who wants to grow professionally, expand your network, and become a leader on campus, in your association, or in your profession, this learning opportunity is designed for you.
Since 1971, NASFAA has offered a leadership conference to provide intensive preparation for NASFAA members who hold leadership positions and those about to assume such positions. While the original name of the conference has been modified over the years and the content expanded, the purpose of the conference remains the same: to deliver knowledge, perspective, and insight into management issues facing current and future financial aid leaders.
