Hi Everyone
We just wanted to say we look forward to seeing everyone at the Holiday Luncheon in a few days on the 16th at the Culinary. Also remember to bring an unwrapped gift for the needy children. We have heard that there could be some inclement weather on Friday but we plan to still hold the luncheon. We advise that you attend based on your own judgment. Hope to see everyone there.
Below is a list of dates and topics for meetings for Region V for the Spring 2006. We are looking for schools in the Region to host the next three meetings in the Spring semester. Please email us if you are interested in having your school host a regional meeting.
February 16th: Region V Meeting Topic: Financial Literacy Training:
We
are having the Westchester Housing Fund Inc. come back after a wonderful session
in the Fall, to train us in Financial Literacy so we can than bring this
training to the rest of the Regions in NYSFAAA.
As a Region we cam lead the others so that this important information is
available to help our students and ourselves.
March 17th:
Region V Meeting Topic: Mentoring
With
new members coming into the region every year, we are trying to bring back
mentoring into the Region to help out new members as they learn the ropes but
also to help keep people in our field and show them how rewarding it can be.
March 31st:
Region IV & V Intermediate Training Workshop,
We
are having a workshop to assist those who have gone through Novice but are
looking for additional training on the intermediate level, where sometimes
training is scarce. We have a program

Financial Aid Presentation, and Communication Styles: How you can Make yours
work for you. More information will
follow.

A little more of a relaxing topic to help us deal with the stress
of this time of year and life changes.
June 30th: Region V End
of the Year Meeting:
Our
year-end meeting in June is just around the corner. Previous year-end activities included a
luncheon cruise on the
It is also that time of year where weather can force us to cancel meetings on a moments notice. Thankfully HESC has brought us a service which we can use to find out if a meeting is delayed or canceled.
HESC
has a telephone Option on our "Financial Aid Professionals" menu at
1-888-NYSHESC, (1-888 697-4372) where "NYSFAAA Event Updates" can be
retrieved by selecting "Quick Touch Selection *8".
We will use this service if we think an event needs to be canceled due to inclement weather. Thank You.
