As you look to wrap up the 2017/18 year AND continue with processing for the upcoming 2018/19 academic year, we ask that you keep your eyes peeled to upcoming events. The summer is shaping up to be quite busy – in addition to NASFAA, we will have our Annual Business Meeting, exciting news about our upcoming CAPFAA Conference, and much more!
Sincerely,
The Communications Committee
Happy spring, CAPFAA!
Though I am a Connecticut native, I also lived in Arizona for a number of years. It may be sunny and dry there year-round, but they certainly do not have anything that can compare to the feel and sight of a New England spring!
I would like to take a moment to reflect on mission and teamwork, specifically, the mission and teamwork that make CAPFAA the organization that it is. Though I have had the privilege of being CAPFAA’s leader for the last year, this organization could not function without the time and energy of an army of other volunteers. We offer training opportunities, advocate on behalf of our students, share information relevant to our day-to-day work, and perhaps equally as important, provide a safe space to air our grievances! If you like what we are doing, let us know. If you do not like what we are doing, let us know. We are here only to serve you.
Kind regards,
Alex Muro
CAPFAA President
