President's Message

PRESIDENT'S WELCOME 2011-12

On behalf of the Board of Directors, welcome to the Canadian Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (CASFAA) website.

CASFAA is a national professional association that represents financial aid administrators at Canada's universities, colleges and technical institutes. As a professional association, CASFAA serves as a liaison between our members and the federal government, service providers, financial institutions and various other stakeholders in student financial aid; advocates on behalf of members by providing input on student financial assistance programs and policies; and provides professional development opportunities for members, including our annual conference.

To our members, I hope that you find the website to be useful tool. If you are not currently a CASFAA member, I invite to take a few moments to review the information on our website and see how you can become a member.

We are particularly proud of our annual conferences which give our members the opportunity to meet and chat with colleagues from across Canada, while receiving up-to-date information on student financial assistance issues of interest.  The 2011 annual CASFAA conference was hosted by Mount Royal University in Alberta in June. Stay tuned for information on the 2012 CASFAA Conference.

I look forward to working with all of you in 2011-2012!

Phyllis Bosnick
President 2011-2012
