2007 Report to Members

The Report to Members will be distributed at the fall 2007 regional conferences. It documents the many activities and initiatives of the association during the past year.


Introduction to the Report

We are honored to work in partnership with you to build quality programs that provide richer intercultural opportunities for students and scholars. This year NAFSA achieved several goals in which we take great pride: the passing of a House bill on the Senator Paul Simon Study Abroad Foundation Act of 2007; a record-breaking annual conference in Minneapolis; the launch of the Online Adviser's Manual; growing participation in international education and exchange programs; a bold new Strategic Plan to guide the association's work; and the growing numbers of international educators who are "Taking Action."

We are now entering NAFSA's 60th year, planning our biggest conference ever in Washington, DC, and feeling the excitement such an international city can bring to the event. We will continue to work toward building a more peaceful world by highlighting the critical role international educators play in fostering understanding and respect among peoples, cultures, and societies. We will seek new opportunities for the support of international education and exchange, and together with you, we will advance NAFSA's mission as the world's premier association for international educators.
