Celebrating Administrative Professionals Day!

Hello Employers and Admin Professionals,

Another Administrative Professionals Day has come. Actually we are in a week of festivities of which today is the climax. Many people don't even know much about this annual event, but year by year it's gathering steam. Administrative Professionals Day is an annual event coordinated by the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP), the internationally recognized industry association for administrative professionals. The theme for 2009 is "Excellence in Action" recognizing that as administrative professionals operate in excellence in all they do, they make major contributions to the workplace. Your local chapter of the IAAP may be holding events throughout this week. Check out the following link for more information http://www.iaap-hq.org/events/apwevents/eventlookup.asp. I would also like to share a copy of the IAAP's Administrative Professionals Briefing for this week. http://www.adminbriefing.com/?promo=iaap09

In my experience as an admin professional, we can be some of the most drained employees in a workplace. Our job is to address both internal and external needs, and many times we are the main point of contact for an organization or the person we are supporting. Take the time to find out more about Administrative Professionals Week and its festivities, whether you are an employer or a employee.

Enjoy your Administrative Professionals Day/Week! http://www.iaap-hq.org/events/apwevents/index.html
