The Ever-Changing Executive Council

As many of you may already know, Justin Chase Brown recently left his position at the University of Missouri to become the Financial Aid Director at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. While we wish Justin all the best in his new position, we are saddened by the fact that this move also takes him from the MASFAA region. Justin’s departure actually created two vacancies on the MASFAA board. The first was an immediate vacancy as chair of the Electronic Communications and Initiatives committee. Thankfully, Melissa Haberman has agreed to assume that role earlier than scheduled. Justin was also elected to assume the role of Vice President at the October board meeting. After careful review of our options, Association Governance recommended that the position be offered to Craig Slaughter. Craig had also run for the position of Vice President on the ballot earlier this year. Executive council recently convened and confirmed Craig’s nomination. Craig brings a wealth of experience to the MASFAA board having served as the association’s secretary and currently serving as the Web Services chair. In addition to serving MASFAA, Craig has just begun his second year as a Delegate on the NASFAA board. Please take a moment to wish both Craig and Melissa all the best in their new roles!
