In this episode we talk to Helena Minerva, Coordinator of Policy and Training at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and the current president of the Middle States Association of Collegiate Registrars and Officers of Admissions (MSACROA) about ways being involved with MSACROA aided in her personal and professional life.

    Key Takeaways: 

    • Your state and/or regional association can be a great way to get exposure to the industry and how other institutions are doing things;
    • Connections made at the state and/or regional association can be extremely useful in your day-to-day work life;
    • You don’t have to commit to being the president of your state and/or regional association in order to get involved;
