Greetings
SASFAA!
It is a beautiful, sunny weekend in Greensboro, NC, and I wish you all were here to bask in the wonderful weather! In fact, this is the kind of weather I have ordered for February 7-10, 2016 for our 53rd Annual Conference. It is my pleasure to announce
that the Conference Agenda is now available for your review on the SASFAA
website (link below). Many thanks to the Conference Committee for securing all the sessions
and speakers, and I appreciate, most especially, Brenda Brown as she prepared the agenda for posting as one of her committee duties.
Our theme, Make An Impact! Advocacy, Education, and
Inclusion, is evident in all aspects of the conference. We are dedicated to
serving our entire association as well as the many students we assist. Topic-specific learning tracks have been created for this year's conference, as well. Those tracks include Global Issues/Diversity, FA 101,
Leadership, Compliance, Best Practices, and many more.

Conference Committee, the entire Executive Board, and all of your SASFAA colleagues in wonderful
Greensboro, NC! Brenda Burke, the original Conference Chair until an awesome job opportunity in
Utah wrangled her away from SASFAA, plans to join in the fun as well! She did a lot of the conference work before
accepting her new role, and, for that, SASFAA is extremely grateful!
