Pacific Financial Aid Association (PacFAA)
PacFAA members share their knowledge of the financial aid application and programs with the community at-large. Presenters receive training during the month of Oct-Nov and are scheduled to offer Financial Aid Workshops at various high school and community locations from Nov-Jan.
PacFAA members who serve on this commiittee work with other committees and the council to develop funding resources. A budget plan is developed and approved by Executive Council at the beginning of each PacFAA year. Committee members develop a plan to seek out financial resources from potential donors to support programs and activities that PacFAA wants to achieve during the year.
PacFAA members attend conferences
to increase our knowledge and understanding of financial aid related
issues while allowing us the opportunity to network with colleagues. PacFAA normally schedules at least one conference each year. Committee members assist in developing the program and theme, site selection, coordinate vendor sponsorship, registration, and hospitality services.
PacFAA members attempt to publish a quarterly newletter known as the PacFAA Times. In order to save money, all members will be notified electronically when the newsletter is available. Members who indicated preference for paper copy on their membership application will receive a hard copy.
