President's Welcome! 

Welcome to a very special year for NCASFAA! As we celebrate 60 years of service and impact, we are proud to embrace our 2027 conference theme: “Diamonds from the Mountains to the Sea: Shining Bright for 60 Years.”

Across North Carolina, our members continue to shine—supporting students and families with dedication, expertise, and heart. Like diamonds, our strength has been built over time, and our collective impact continues to grow.

We’re always excited to have members get involved—NCASFAA is stronger because of volunteers like you! There are plenty of ways to share your time and talents, with opportunities available on several of our committees. Whether you’ve got a little time or a lot, there’s a place for you to make a difference.

NCASFAA remains committed to providing valuable training, meaningful connections, and strong advocacy for our profession. Whether you’re a new member or a familiar face, we invite you to get involved and be part of what makes this organization so special.

Here’s to a bright and memorable year ahead!

Lori Lewis
President, NCASFAA 2026–27
