Amid the whirlwind of regulations, the morning commute, and the comforting aroma of morning coffee, a financial aid professional’s routine can sometimes feel like a solitary journey. During the past year, many aid officers have opened the digital doors to NASFAA Communities where they can be transported to a world where connections flourish, conversations spark, and transformative experiences develop.

Join Blue Icon Advisors on Thursday, July 20, at 12:00 p.m. ET for a reflection on NASFAA’s National Conference and Virtual Conference, with a discussion on what we heard and how we apply that information. The event is free to NASFAA members, but you must register in advance. Let's Talk meets every month and gives practicing financial aid professionals the opportunity to engage with peers, learn from presenters and each other, share information, and discuss best practices. Check the schedule to see more upcoming Let's Talk topics.
