MASFAA Regional Report
NASFAA Board of Directors Meeting
May 21-23, 2006, Portland, Maine
State Conferences
All nine MASFAA states have a conference in spring or early
summer. The MASFAA President or Past President has attended
at least one conference in each state this year. I’m happy
to report that all of the states in the MASFAA region are experiencing
higher numbers of conference attendees and the associations
seem to be doing well and are in good financial health.
