As your SASFAA Past President, I have the privilege of serving as
the Chair of the Awards Committee. The committee’s members are the
elected officers of the Association and we are charged with recommending award
recipients to the SASFAA Board for its approval. Because our next Board
meeting is scheduled for November 2015, and the Awards Committee will need time
to consider all nominations and finalize our recommendations to the Board prior
to November. I am asking that any
nominations for the awards listed below should be sent to me by no later
than Friday, October 23, 2015.
Distinguished Service Award
This is the highest honor bestowed by
SASFAA. Individuals honored with a SASFAA Distinguished Service Award
shall have made outstanding, significant, and meritorious contributions to the
advancement of student financial aid or the profession. The awards
committee, comprised of the elected officers of the Association, shall be
charged to consider nominees and recommend them for consideration to the Board.
Nominees must be approved by a two-thirds vote of Board members present and
voting.
Each recipient shall be presented an
appropriate plaque at the annual conference of the Association and shall be
entitled to honorary membership in the Association when the recipient ceases to
meet active membership eligibility requirements.
Honorary Membership
Honorary membership shall
be awarded to persons who have demonstrated outstanding service to SASFAA
and to the student aid profession. Practicing financial aid administrators
are not eligible to receive this award.
All SASFAA past presidents and
Distinguished Service recipients who are no longer directly involved in the
administration of financial aid shall be automatically granted honorary
membership, unless otherwise eligible, individuals nominated for honorary
membership must be approved by a majority vote of the Board members
present and voting.
Please send me your nomination and a description of the service(s)
the individual has contributed to SASFAA. You can send the information to me
via email at: nbasford@fsu.edu by October 23, 2015.
Thanking you in advance for your
nominations!
Nathan R. Basford, Jr.
SASFAA Immediate Past President
