Letter from the President
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the MS Association of Federal Education Program Directors (MAFEPD) Board of Directors, I would like to thank you for your participation and support of our organization. The past few years presented us with challenges; however, we persevered and are stronger as an organization and directors. Stephanie, Velma, Melanie, Rico, Eileen, Misty, Burbette, Lecia, Florence, Kim, Deatrice, Jasmine, Melissa, and I salute you for your efforts.
Exciting times are ahead! The MAFEPD Board is pleased to announce the return of our annual summer conference. We are working diligently to provide our membership with sessions to assist with meeting programmatic and fiscal federal requirements that positively impact student learning outcomes. This year’s conference is set to be informative, engaging and fun!
Hope to see you in June at the Refuge,
Tonya Bolton
MAFEPD President
