SASFAA Management Institute

October 7-9, 2015

Mark your calendars for the SASFAA Management Institute!

Audience:

The event is geared towards senior-level financial aid administrators, generally defined as someone at a director, associate director, coordinator, or other senior leadership level in the financial aid office. You must be a SASFAA member to attend.

Format:

This workshop is not your traditional “conference.”  The days are designed to provide facilitated group work following each of the presentations.  This is an opportunity for each attendee to work in a group, discuss the presented materials, and develop a list of takeaways and/or action items that can be used at your institution.  In other words, the sessions are designed to be “hands on” and interactive.  You will learn from your peers as well as the presenters, which makes this a wonderful opportunity to find out what works at other institutions and brainstorm new strategies.  Due to this structure, we are limiting the event to 50 attendees (subject to change).

Location:

Embassy Suites Orlando - Lake Buena Vista Resort with a room rate of $139/night.  The rates will also be offered 2 days pre/post the event based on availability.  Hotel registration is scheduled to open August 1st.

Registration:  $300.  Registration is scheduled to open August 1st.  Keep in mind you must also be a paid SASFAA member to attend.
