The Program Committee has put together a strong regulatory Conference that will meet all your financial aid challenges! Please go to the GASFAA website to see the tentative agenda. We have a good cross section of presenters from across the financial aid spectrum.

We have Dave Bartnicki our friendly fed for five concurrent sessions, an Ask-A-Fed session, and the federal update!! That is seven hours of face time with an expert in federal financial aid processes. He is excited and ready to answer all federal regulatory questions.

Pennie Strong is also going to be working hard for GASFAA with four training sessions to make sure we know how to administer all state programs. We know how important CHECS is to all of us this year. We will have a big room for Pennie’s CHECS - Checkpoints and Corrections session and Pennie and her team will be available for any questions!

Robert Weinerman, from Iron Bridge Resources, will be available to answer all tax questions. Robert is a tax expert who presented at the SASFAA conference and was great in answering all tax questions related to verification and other financial aid processes.


We will also have two NASFAA Credentials and many other sessions to address financial aid issues. You don’t want to miss this Conference!

I greatly appreciate the dedication and commitment all of our presenters have for our GASFAA members. They are challenging us to be our best… so come meet us in Savannah and accept the challenge!
