Association Update - MASFAA President

October 2026

Welcome to the 2026 MASFAA Annual Conference in Cedar Rapids, Iowa!

As we gather around MASFAA’s crowded table, I am filled with excitement for the days ahead and incredible gratitude for the opportunity to have served as your president this past year.

What a year it has been! Through challenges, changes, and opportunities, I have been continually inspired by the dedication, resilience, and passion of our members. Together, we have strengthened connections, created new opportunities for learning and leadership, and continued building a professional community that supports one another.

Serving as your president has been one of the greatest honors of my professional journey. Thank you to our volunteers, board members, partners, and every member who makes MASFAA such a special organization.

As we come together for this conference, I hope you leave feeling energized in your work, inspired by new perspectives, and reminded that you always have a seat at this table.

Let's make this an unforgettable conference!

Where We Gather, Greatness Happens!

Emily Haynam
MASFAA President, 2025–26
