6 March, 2009


I have been working for the NHHEAF Network for the past seven years. When I started there, I processed returned borrower mail -- but through a lot of hard work and determination, I was promoted to a Customer Service Representative then Senior CSR; as well as transitioning into full-time positions within the Help Desk Operations team. I have been truly blessed in my seven years here -- a lot of great opportunities, wonderful friends, good benefits and they helped me pay for college!


Now I must ask for your help, please please please. President Obama has released his budget plans, which includes a proposal to eliminate the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). NHHEAF is a lender, guarantor and servicer of FFELP loans. Higher education is clearly a priority for Obama's administration. NHHEAF understands President Obama's intentions in supporting increased funding for the neediest students to attend college; they wholeheartedly share this goal. The organization has been supporting the college goals of students and parents for over 46 years. However, they believe that all things considered New Hampshire is far better served by our local FFELP agency than a big government contractor through Direct Lending.


If you believe that New Hampshire students and parents benefit from having a local, nonprofit agency supporting the student loan program and providing free college outreach programming, I encourage you to contact your congressional representatives and senators letting them know you feel the FFELP program is important.


Please visit NHHEAF for more information: http://www.nhheaf.org/index.asp?page=abt_studentloanindustry They have posted links and form letters to print and send to our government.


Please help. Not only would you be saving my job; but the jobs of 150 other hard working and wonderful people. A lot of us have put in many many years of service to NHHEAF -- we believe in the mission of company: help students and parents attain the goals of higher education.


Thank you for your support.
