Dear Colleague,

 

This is a reminder to everyone about the NYSFAAA Region 4 & 5 Training Workshop that is being held at the Crown Plaza Hotel beginning Thursday, June 16, 2005 through Friday, June 17, 2005.  The workshop’s theme this year is, “Putting the Pieces Together”

 

The goal of this workshop is to bring training opportunities to intermediate level financial aid professionals.  Often, in the financial aid community, training is geared towards those who are new to our profession or those who have reached director and/or advanced status.  By holding a training workshop specifically for intermediate level professionals, we hope to foster additional learning and create an atmosphere of excitement regarding financial aid.  We also wish to show our colleagues that getting involved within our financial aid community, both regionally and statewide is beneficial to them, their schools, and their professional career. 

 

Please complete and return the Training Workshop Registration Form by May 10th, 2005.

We encourage you to attend or recommend this conference to other intermediate level staff members in your office.  If you need additional registration materials, please contact Rachel Craparo at Craparo@sunydutchess.edu or by phone at (845) 431-8030 with your name and address.  You can also register by email with Rachel to expedite the registration procedure.  Please include your name, title, school information, and if you will be attending both days of the workshop.  If you are not a member of Region 4 or 5 we will have you fill out the appropriate paperwork to become a member at the workshop.  Remember to bring a check payable to NYSFAAA for $35.00 if you are not a member of NYSFAAA.  We look forward to seeing you in Albany on Thursday, June 16, 2005. 

 

Hotel Reservation:  Reservation of the hotel room must be completed by May 10th, 2005.  To receive the room rate of $99.00 plus applicable taxes, remember to mention that you are coming for the NYSFAAA Training Workshop.  You can make a reservation by calling either of these numbers: (800) 2CROWNE or (518) 462-6611.  For directions to the hotel and hotel information, please go to WWW.CPALBANY.COM.  Parking at the hotel as well as the conference fees (for Region 4 & 5 members only) will be sponsored by Regions 4 & 5 of NYSFAAA.
