SASFAA Awards Committee is Accepting Nominations


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!
