How are you different from Professional Secretaries International (PSI)?
The International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) is the new name for PSI. It is our hope to expand the recognition levels of administrative professionals (e.g. Executive Assistants/Secretaries, Administrative Assistants/Secretaries, Office Professionals in a support environment etc.) by our new name and outlook.
Who should join IAAP?
Administrative professionals who consider themselves in a career profession and desire to enhance and/or develop their personal and professional skills.
How can attending chapter meetings help me get ahead or improve my skills in my job?
Here is a sampling of topics that have been presented at past meetings: Elements of Public Speaking; Event Planning for Executive Assistants; Business Etiquette Domestic & International; How to Prepare a Presentation in PowerPoint; and 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
