If you think Christina looks excited, than you can image how
PUMPED your 2018 MASFAA Program Committee is to be able share a bit about our
special guests and tentative schedule.
Colin Ryan
Confirmed! Colin will be joining us on Sunday evening to
help solve the strategic issue facing every financial institution today:
how to reach young people. By linking comedy and financial
advice together, he offers a new and different way to reach the young
people who are both in our schools and our workforce. His trainings offer advice on creating
dynamic, personalized, and creative financial literacy that decreases student
debt and increases retention and job placement.
Colin’s sense of humor and passion for helping people empower themselves
through great financial understanding leads to a conversation that is funny,
memorable, and accessible no matter your background.
Collin’s book, A
Comedic Guide to Money, is a funny, engaging, and practical guide to the financial
skills that allow us to build the life we want. Through relevant and memorable
examples, success stories, and cutting-edge behavioral research, his book gets
young people and adults talking about money.

afternoon to talk about design thinking for better engagement. Later that afternoon attendees will have the
opportunity to find out why weird is better during KiKi’s networking interest

transformation projects. She also hosts the popular Association Chat

which has run since 2009.
KiKi serves as faculty for Mediabistro's online courses in

Craig Munier &
Zack Goodwin
Tentative… But –
we’re on their calendars and just need to cross our fingers that the federal
fiscal year or other budget problems don’t get in our way. Worse case, we’ve been promised virtual
presentations.
FREE PreConference
Workshops
Confirmed! We’re
bringing back the FREE PreConference workshops to MASFAA 2018 – choose from 1
of 3 topics:
·

And last, but
definitely not least, keep your eyes peeled for an email on June 1st. Not only will we be sending out the tentative
