COHEAO Mid-Year Conference

From the conference information page:

The COHEAO Mid-Year Conference is officially set for July 30-August 2 in St. Louis, MO at the Westin St. Louis.

The Mid-Year promises to be engaging and informative, as it will focus on providing information and training that will help campus loan administrators do their jobs.  The Department of Education and the Federal Reserve have published volumes of regulatory changes taking effect this year and last.  This conference will draw on experts and provide a chance to share experiences that will help you cope with compliance. 

Understanding compliance will be key as a big new regulator, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, will have just assumed responsibility for enforcing regulations affecting institutional credit programs stemming from legislation of great importance to COHEAO members, such as the Truth in Lending Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and others. 

We will again be inviting the Department of Education to provide an update, including discussion of Perkins Loan issues.  And this conference will take place only weeks after its controversial set of program integrity regulations takes effect. 

The COHEAO Mid-Year Conference will also again feature interactive discussions among COHEAO’s various task forces and committees.  At last year’s Mid-Year, the Perkins, A/R Management, and Financial Literacy Task Force sessions were considered by many attendees to be the highlight of the conference.
