The 2006 Fall Conference was again held at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge, MD. The conference was centered around the theme, Field of Dreams, reminding us how we, as financial aid professionals play a role in fulfilling the dreams of the students we serve.

Chaired by David Manning, the 2006 Conference Committee sought to design a conference based on feedback from the membership. The members of this year's committee are:

• Laura Boesler
• Andrea Cipolla
• Angie Hovatter
• Gene Logan
• Tanya McMillan
• Melissa Rakes
• Pat Shoemaker
• Liz Urbanski

This year's conference was marked by sessions requested by the membership and presented by school financial aid administrators. In addition, there were extended opportunities to network with colleagues. Hopefully, this conference was valuable to you and your office.

Thank you to everyone who helped to make this year's conference a success, especially all of the sponsors, presenters and moderators.
