by 2016-17 MASFAA Awards Committee
The 2017 MASFAA
Conference took place in Dayton, Ohio and we had the opportunity to honor many
MASFAA colleagues for their dedicated and much appreciated service to our
organization, the financial aid profession, and the students we serve.
The highest award
MASFAA bestows, Allen W. Purdy Distinguished Service Award, was given to Lori Vedder (University of Michigan-Flint).
The 2016-17 President's Award was presented to Emily Haynam (The Ohio State
University) by Thomas Ratliff, 2016-17 MASFAA President.
Thomas
also presented the Committee of the Year
Award to the Communications
committee (Jayme Jarrett, Crystal Baker, Kristin Bhaumik, Felicia Drayton,
Keri Gilbert, Melissa Haberman, Chandra Owen, David Peterson, Aesha Williams,
Scott Young) for their tireless work on the new MASFAA website.
On Sunday, two very worthy students were given the MASFAA Student Success Story Award: Mona Lloyd (Capital University) and Jaime Keffer (Zane State College). Their stories were inspiring and we were all reminded of all the obstacles our students are faced with while attaining their education, and many still keep at it until the end.

We also had the privilege to learn a little
bit more about our State Leadership Award recipients: Michelle Stipp (IL), Melinda Middleton
(IN), Jennifer Schroeder (IA), Val Meyers (MI), Brittany Tweed (MN), Charles
“Buddy” Mayfield (MO), Erica Henry (OH), and Keyimani Alford (WI).
And as it is tradition, many of our MASFAA
members were honored for their many years of service in the financial aid
profession with:
