Welcome from MASFAA President, Emily Haynam

January 2026

MASFAA - we have a new Facebook and Instagram accounts.  Please follow and engage with us at www.facebook.com/9.masfaa and www.instagram.com/9.masfaa! 

Our MASFAA Board is hard at work as we head into the new year to bring our members more content and information as we yet again navigate the ongoing changes and complexity in financial aid. MASFAA is here for you as a place of collaboration, learning, and support.  The PD committee is working on a robust lineup of MASFAA Matters Webinars, the MASFAAmeUp Podcast is about to drop new episodes, Membership is working on exciting ideas, and our new Pathways committee will be getting information out soon about the new book club schedule and additional programming.  Also, be sure to check out our upcoming newsletters with a new mental health and wellness section! 

Our financial aid community is shaped by those who show up - and our MASFAA volunteers and members show up every day to help each other not just survive, but thrive.  Thank you for showing up for each other and for students. I look forward to continuing this work together and staying connected in the months ahead.
