Association Update - MASFAA President
March 2026
As we step into March, I am energized by the momentum happening across MASFAA. Our committees are hard at work advancing strategic priorities, developing meaningful professional development opportunities, and continuing to strengthen the connections that make our association so impactful. The dedication of our volunteers is truly what moves MASFAA forward, and I am grateful for the leadership and creativity they bring to the table.
We recently wrapped up a productive and engaging in-person MASFAA conference planning meetings the end of February, along with our board meeting. It was a valuable time to collaborate, reflect on our progress, and chart the course for the months ahead. There is nothing quite like gathering together to spark ideas, solve challenges, and reaffirm our shared commitment to serving students and supporting one another as professionals. Remember - when we gather, greatness happens!
Looking ahead, I am excited about what this year holds for MASFAA. Be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming webinars and new podcast episodes designed to provide timely insights, practical tools, and thoughtful conversations relevant to our work. These offerings are part of our continued effort to create accessible, engaging ways for members to learn and connect throughout the year.
I’m also pleased to share that the location for the MASFAA Summer Institute has been selected! More details will be coming soon, and we look forward to welcoming you for what promises to be another outstanding opportunity for professional growth and networking.
Thank you for your ongoing involvement, leadership, and commitment to MASFAA. The year ahead is full of opportunity, and I am confident that together, we will continue building an association that equips professionals, empowers students, and advances our mission.

With appreciation,
Emily Haynam
