A word from...
NASSGAP in the Big Easy

The 2008 NASSGAP Fall Conference will be held October 5-8, 2008 in New Orleans, Louisiana at the beautiful and historic Hotel Monteleone (www.hotelmonteleone.com) in the heart of the New Orleans’ French Quarter.

The Big Easy, The Crescent City, The City that Care Forgot all describes the unmistakable aura of New Orleans. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to network with your peers, be informed and educated on important professional issues while in one of our great American cities. Since Mardi Gras does not occur in October, the next best thing is a visit to Mardi Gras World (www.mardigrasworld.com). For a special treat on Monday, the conference will actually move to Mardi Gras World for lunch and a tour (transportation provided). If you are bringing family or friends to the conference, they are invited to attend for the $45.00 fee indicated on the registration form. After the tour, our guests may leave, but the afternoon agenda will continue from our remote site for State Issues and possibly a local speaker.

Conference hotel rates are $159.00 for single or double occupancy. Contact the hotel prior to SEPTEMBER 5, 2008 to book your room under the conference block and indicate your affiliation to National Association for State Student Grant and Aid Programs. These rates are available to attendees 3 days prior and 3 days after our meeting dates if you would like to arrange for a longer visit.
