Welcome

President's Welcome

 

Welcome to the 2025-2026 year, MASFAA!  As we look toward the start of a new academic year, I want to invite you to consider joining a MASFAA committee. Our website is a great resource to learn more about our committees and their work. Some of our current work includes:

Complete a quick volunteer form to get connected to the committee(s) you are interested in.  Many committees meet virtually and we have a wide range of projects in the works.

If you haven’t volunteered with MASFAA before, it’s a great step in building your professional network and expanding your reach as a professional.  For those that have been away for a few years, now is the perfect time to reconnect.

I look forward to working with you this year!

Thank you,

Mira Morgan

President
