Conference First-Time Attendee Task Force

We want our National Conference attendees to have a great time and return year after year. While NASFAA traditionally hosts a welcome reception for first-time attendees, we continue to seek innovative ways to help them connect with colleagues. The Conference First-Time Attendee Task Force will develop and organize conference activities for mentors and first-time attendees.

Volunteer selection is currently underway.
