Summary of Activities The IASFAA Fall Conference was held in October. There were 67 in attendance. With the Government shut down our Conference was held without the USDOE Staff. Members of our Financial Aid community stepped up to help out with those presentations and the Federal Update. Overall it was a very successful conference. Our local WASFAA representative was Kevin Jensen. I attended the Idaho Financial Aid Director’s meeting as the IASFAA representative. As a first time President, I am still learning the ropes.
