SASFAA Awards Committee is Accepting Nominations

SASFAA shall recognize and reward exemplary service or outstanding contributions to the Association or to the financial aid profession.  To do so, we have two awards that may be presented to individuals at the Annual Conference.

The SASFAA Awards Committee is now accepting nominations for the following awards.

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 presented to persons who have performed outstanding service in the field of support and/or administration of student financial aid and who are voted honorary membership by the Board.

Honorary membership cannot be bestowed on anyone who is a practicing financial aid administrator.  The Board shall decide if a person’s primary responsibility is the administration of financial aid.

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.

Please send me your nomination and a description of the service(s) the individual has contributed to SASFAA.  You can send the information to Jeff Dennis at jdennis@swu.edu.  I need to receive your nomination by September 30th.

Jeff Dennis
SASFAA Awards Committee Chair
