At a July 16, 2024 Board meeting, NASFAA’s Board of Directors approved the Presidential Search Committee (PSC) which will be responsible for finding NASFAA’s next permanent President & CEO. NASFAA’s Diversity Officer, Dr. Sharon Oliver, will chair the committee.

After receiving volunteers from the 2024-25 NASFAA Board of Directors, NASFAA National Chair Kristi Jovell selected, and the Board has ratified, the following members for the Presidential Search Committee, which will consist of six voting members and two non-voting members:

• Chair: Sharon Oliver - Associate Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Management, North Carolina Central University

• Amy Cable - Representative-at-Large, Chief Enrollment Management Officer, Louisiana Community and Technical College System

• Heidi Carl - National Chair-Elect, Assistant Vice Provost and Executive Director, Division of Financial Aid, Purdue University

• Amanda Cornelius - WASFAA Representative, Associate Vice President, Northern Arizona University

• Alex DeLonis - Treasurer, Assistant Vice President of Student Financial Services, Saint Louis University

• Sarah Everitt - Representative-at-Large, Dean of Student Financial Services, Gonzaga University, WASFAA

• Beth Maglione - NASFAA Interim President (non-voting/ex-officio)

• Sydney Evans - NASFAA Chief of Staff (non-voting/ex-officio)

At NASFAA’s summer Board of Directors meeting held on June 15, 2024, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the board discussed and approved the charter and composition of the PSC. The newly formed PSC will move quickly to select a professional search firm and begin to develop a position description for NASFAA’s next leader. The Board anticipates the appointment of a permanent President & CEO by January 2025. 

The PSC and the NASFAA Board aim to ensure that this search process is as transparent as possible, given the scope of a national search. More information about stakeholder meetings will be shared in the coming weeks. NASFAA has created a Presidential Search Web Center dedicated to keeping members apprised of the most recent information. Comments, questions, and feedback may be submitted directly to the committee.
