"Reaching New Heights" was the theme of the 2001 Nevada State Association Annual Conference that was held on October 10 " 11 at Lake Tahoe. The conference was well attended and the workshops provided an opportunity for professional development.

Special awards were given to Kim Coker (Western Nevada Community College) and Sandra Guidry (University of Nevada, Reno) for outstanding service to the state association for over 20 years. A big thank you is extended to Ben Loya (EdFund), Carmen Dominguez, (Collegiate Funding Services) and Rhonda Neale (EdFund) for their role in assisting with the planning of this year's conference. Another big thank you goes out to all of our sponsors, presenters and attendees who helped make this a successful conference.

Besides the state conference, we have had several fall workshops conducted in the north and the south including topics on default/prevention, consolidation and the annual Nevada High School Counselors Workshop conducted by EdFund. We were very fortunate to have the Department of Education Electronic Access Conference 2001 in Reno, Nevada in November. The WASFAA sponsored 2001 NASFAA Fall Workshop on "Policies & Procedures 2001: An Aid Odyssey" was held in December. We are encouraging all NAFAA members to take advantage of the training opportunities offered within our state.
