Reasons Why You Should Attend the
2007 IAAP International Convention and Education Forum

Here are some reasons why admins should attend the IAAP International Convention and Education Forum:

The role of the administrative professional is rapidly changing. Here’s what industry experts are saying:

  • The administrative professional’s job today requires skills in management functions and technology, including: project management; integrated computer software applications; organization and scheduling; Internet/Intranet communications and research; document preparation, storage, and retrieval, with emphasis on electronic recordkeeping; customer service and public relations.
  • Projects of all kinds fall under their purview. They schedule, track, budget, and coordinate teams next door or halfway around the world.
  • With little formal training, administrative professionals are learning new software features and shortcuts by absorbing information from manuals, colleagues, online resources and user groups—across town and across cyberspace.
  • Admins have redesigned their work to do it better, faster, and cheaper by moving from paper to electronic—for purchasing, scheduling, making travel arrangements, conducting meetings, collaborating on documents, and screening resumes for open positions.

To be ready for these and other exciting changes taking place in the administrative profession, come to Tampa, Florida, July 29―August 1 and get the skills you need to navigate in today’s chaotic and highly competitive workplace.
