In the early part of this decade, Timely Fax Alerts were implemented for the most critical, breaking education news events. The organization's positions on financial aid matters have also been featured regularly in national and local publications around the country. The organization is now open to other organizations interested in and involved directly with post-secondary finance issues. These include secondary market firms and loan guarantors. Each member organization may enroll one primary member and as many associate members as it desires.
Primary members vote, make dues payments and select associate members.
Only primary members may serve on the Steering Committee, but all members have the opportunity to participate on other various committees. This reflects the fact that the organization's work focuses on its membership, not on those who staff the committees.
