If you’re new to IASFAA, you’ll quickly discover it’s more than just a professional organization, it’s a warm and welcoming community. It’s a place where you can build lasting connections and even make lifelong friends. With the constant changes in the financial aid world, having a supportive network of peers is incredibly valuable. You’ll always find someone willing to share advice, provide encouragement, or simply lend a listening ear. IASFAA is also a great resource for training and professional development, especially through in-person events. I encourage you to take advantage of the learning opportunities offered by our professional development committee and to attend our annual conference, these are not only educational but also a great way to deepen relationships and get more involved. I look forward to all we will accomplish together this year. Let’s continue to provide meaningful benefits to our members and remain a strong, supportive resource within the ever-evolving financial aid community. Respectfully, Kelsey Ryder
