It is my pleasure and honor to serve once again as WVASFAA’s President for the 2022-2023 year. It’s been 20 years since I last served in this role, and I am no less excited for the year ahead. As I reflect on my years in the financial aid profession, it reminds me of how much WVASFAA has aided in my personal and professional growth through quality trainings and the numerous network and leadership opportunities I have experienced on the state, regional and national levels. For this reason, my theme for the year is “Nurturing the Future of Financial Aid: Building Leaders for a Better Tomorrow”.

I want to personally invite you to not only become a member of WVASFAA but to consider volunteering for one of our committees, presenting or moderating a conference session, or running for office. Your input is valued and will be appreciated. Experience is not required – remember our organization is here to help us all grow and connect. If you are interested, please contact me or one of our Executive Committee members.

I am hopeful to see what the year brings for us.

Candi Frazier

2022-23 WVASFAA President
