Al Hoffman
Board MemberAl was born and raised in Kansas. He enlisted into the Navy Submarine program in the late 70s. He believes part of the success in college servicing is the military style procedural part he brought to the table when he first started. The counselor aptitude has evolved as well as he gave back to the community with outside activities. Al was one of four original founding members of the National College Advocacy Group (NCAG). He was the NCAG's first president. Al is still a member of the NCAG board, executive committee and the committee chair of the NCAG's Certification program. The NCAG has dedicated itself to be a source of knowledge for financial or academic college counselors. Al has lecture spoke at the IECA, HECA, NICCP, and NCAG Conferences at various times on college affordability and issues related to the FAFSA and CSS Profile.
