Election Results
The CASFAA special election results are in and Louise Jones, from UC Riverside, is now the 2008 President. Barbara Bickett, from US Education Corp, won for 2008 President-Elect. Noelia Gonzalez, from CSU Northridge, is the new 2008 Vice-President for State Issues. All of the 2008 Executive Council positions are now filled. Louise was CASFAA President in 2006 and Past-President in 2007 so she is familiar with many of the current issues. Barbara has been on the CASFAA Executive Council for the past few years as the Scholarship Chair. Noelia has been CASFAA’s Cal Grant Advisory Council (GAC) representative as well as the 2007 CASFAA CSU representative.
Congratulations to all!
