Anne Frank said “How
wonderful that no one need wait a single moment to improve the world.” You can
take a minute right now and show your interest in helping SASFAA continue to
improve. Planning is already underway
for the 2013-2014 year! I promised at
the Annual Conference in Atlanta last month to have the Volunteer Form
available by the end of February. With
the delayed elections process, I decided to wait until it had concluded and the
new officers were announced.
Now it is time for YOU
to volunteer to help make this coming year a success for SASFAA! Please go to www.sasfaa.org, click on “About SASFAA” and then
“Forms” and you will see the “SASFAA Volunteer Form” at the top of the page. When you have submitted the information I will
receive an email confirmation. One of the committee chairs will be in touch
with you sometime between late June and late July. We will find a way for you
to help SASFAA in some way if you volunteer!
It is not too early to
remind you of the annual conference to be held in Jacksonville, Florida,
February 16-19, 2014 at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront. Our theme
for next year will be “Hitting our Stride by Celebrating our Strengths” and we
hope you will join us as SASFAA continues to hit its stride!
Your elected officers
for next year include:
- Zita Barree from Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia as President
- Jeff Dennis from Southern Wesleyan University in South Carolina as your Past-President
- Nathan Basford from Florida State University in Florida as your President-Elect
- Tabatha McAllister from University of South Carolina Regional Campuses in South Carolina as your Vice-President
- Sharon Oliver from North Carolina Central University in North Carolina as your Secretary
- Amy Moser from Nelnet in Georgia as your Treasurer
In addition, the other
voting members of the Board include the State Presidents for 2013-14:
- Alabama – Kevin Ammons, Enterprise State Community College
- Florida – Wayne Kruger, St. Petersburg College
- Georgia – Cathy Crawley, Georgia College and State University
- Kentucky – Katie Conrad, Midway College
- Mississippi – John Windham, Northeast Mississippi Community College
- North Carolina – Rachel Cavenaugh, Cape Fear Community College
- South Carolina – Katie Harrison, South Carolina Tuition Grants Commission
- Tennessee - Ashley Bianchi, Rhodes College
- Virginia – Ashley Reich, Liberty University
The committee chairs who
serve on the Board as non-voting members will be finalized by no later than the
Board’s Transition Meeting to be held June 2 – 4 in Clearwater Beach, FL.
I used the following
quote from T.S. Eliot in my speech at the SASFAA Annual Conference last month
when the gavel was passed to me:
“Only those who will
risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”
Please volunteer so that
we can work together to find out how far YOU and SASFAA can go!
