About the WASFAA Annual Conference
The WASFAA Annual Conference is the premier training and networking event for financial aid professionals across the Western United States and Pacific Islands.

Whether you’re new to the profession or a seasoned leader, the conference offers valuable opportunities to grow your knowledge, engage with peers, and contribute to the ongoing improvement of our field.
