Position: Secretary
Sarah Swett
Northeast State Community College
Statement of Candidacy
It has been my pleasure to work in financial aid for nearly the last 20 years. Like so many, my journey started as a first-generation work-study student in the Financial Aid & Scholarships Office at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Several people in that office went out of their way to help me, and their kindness will never be forgotten. My career started many years later when I was hired as a graduate assistant for the University of Maine Financial Aid Office. From there, among other things, I have served as the Financial Aid Director for the University of Maine (Orono), University of Maine at Machias, Longwood University in Virginia, and now Northeast State Community College.
I often try to explain to people that, even though working in financial aid can be very challenging, the community we are a part of is amazing! Aside from watching students succeed, I find being part of the aid community to be one of the best parts of this job. None of it happens without the support of our teammates and community, so it would be my honor to serve as the TASFAA secretary, should you afford me the opportunity.
