What Attendees Are Saying
Hear from those who have experienced the NAFIS Conference firsthand
Fall 2026 Attendee
"Everything was wonderful. As a new person to NAFIS, the information presented was so valuable (and the connection to reach out and ask questions is worth the entire trip!)."
Fall 2026 Attendee
"This was my first NAFIS conference. I look forward to attending more of the conference in the spring, when I can spend some more time there. We just started school on September 8th, so I did not want to be out of district for more than a day. Spring will allow more time. As a military-impacted kiddo myself, I am looking forward to the continued work and pushing for full funding to help all Federally impacted children."
Student Attendee
"I always knew I wanted to be in a helping profession. I had experience lobbying in high school with NAFIS (the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools), since my high school was entirely on a reservation. It wasn't until I was able to take the lobbying trip to Washington, D.C., with a few classmates and teachers, and got the distinction for the New York State Education Department Seal of Civic Readiness Information, that I understood my passion for equity and advocacy could be translated into a profession. Helping people can also look like advocating for changes to the systems and policies that affect our lives."
