#FAchat Topic for 7/9/13: Connecting Through #NASFAA2013


This week’s #FAchat will center on the upcoming 2013 NASFAA National Conference held in Las Vegas.  Join us Tuesday, July 9, at 12:00 p.m. CST for #FAchat!

The NASFAA National Conference is the premier event serving the student financial aid community.  Nearly 3,000 student aid professionals from across the nation attend the conference each year to teach, learn, network, and share best practices – and who knows how many follow along through the Twitter backchannel via the official conference hashtag: #NASFAA2013.

Our chat will focus on how to connect with your colleagues through NASFAA whether you are attending the conference or not. Be sure to watch the event via the #NASFAA2013 Twitter feed July 14-17. You can also participate in financial aid discussions year-round via #fachat.
