Re: EAC: Last chance to register for the New Orleans EAC
Date: November 13, 2003
If you weren't able to join us for the Electronic Access Conference in San Diego and you haven't registered yet for the New Orleans EAC, hurry time is almost up! Friday, November 14, 2003 is the last day to register for the conference. You may register on-line at http://fsaconferences.ed.gov
See what the attendees are saying about the EAC in San Diego:
- I would highly recommend this conference to anyone.
- I do the Direct Loans for our school and this was the most informative 4 days I have had since I started my job.
- As a result of this conference, I am likely to go back to my campus and initiate conversations, do more training, and return to the EACs next year with more of my staff.
- I am very thankful for these conferences because it's a very good way to get a large array of info before the start of a new aid year and you don't always have time to go on all the websites or read so many e-mails.
- I could only choose between the EAC and another conference because our budget was tight this year. I chose the EAC because I get all the information I need in the 4 days than I would at any other conference.
- This conference is the most helpful of all conferences I attend. I'm leaving this conference a more empowered to do my job. Thanks D.O.E.
