Cash management? Future technologies? Innovative practices? If so, please join us at this year's Direct Loan Annual Conference in Washington, DC, March 28-30, 1999. It promises to be a very informative event, with a lot of interaction between the Department of Education and the Direct Loan community. There will be many opportunities to discuss specific issues with representatives from the Loan Origination Center, the Direct Loan Servicing Center and your Client Account Manager. Another exciting aspect of the conference is the opportunity to hear Mr. Greg Woods' vision and goals for the future. Mr. Woods has recently been appointed Chief Operating Officer of the Office of Student Financial Assistance, the first Performance Based Organization in the Government. He will give the keynote address, chair a panel discussion on the future of the federal student loan programs and conduct a town meeting on a wide range of issues related to the delivery of student financial aid. If you or your colleagues plan to attend, you must register by February 26, 1999. Hotel reservations must also be made by that date to get the conference rate at the hotel.
