About Us

 

Brief history

In 2008 PacWest SFS formed from two of California’s premier long-standing Higher Education, non-profit organizations: the California Colleges & University Loan Administrators Association (CCULAA) and the California Bursar’s Association (CBA). These two organizations had two distinctly different focuses; CCULAA was focused on student loan administration while the CBA focus was primarily on student account receivables and cashiering.

Purpose and benefit

Combining the two organizations allows members to now attend a single conference and exchange ideas in one setting. This concept is in keeping with many campuses across the country seeking to merge operations and gain efficiencies.

Finally, blending the two organizations into one, creates an opportunity to provide our members with more extensive resources to enhance their knowledge, experience and networking opportunities in their respective fields of higher education and professional growth and development.
