 IAAP 2009 PEC

Event website: http://www.iaap-hq.org/PEC09/index.htm

To move up the corporate ladder and gain more responsibility requires administrative professionals who project a corporate image on par with the executives they support. It calls for a special finesse that is not taught in school and often not learned on the job. A few people seem to have the knack innately; most of us gain it by careful observation and modeling others who are successful. The really lucky ones are given an opportunity to be taught the skills by professional coaches who can take individuals performing well in their current positions and shape them into exceptional professionals who feel comfortable adapting to any person or situation they encounter.

This 2 ½-day conference, designed especially for admins, will provide attendees with all the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to fit in with their executive teammates and the credibility and confidence they need to stand out from the crowd.

Receive 1.6 CEU or a maximum of 16 CPS/CAP recertification points for participating in the conference. For more information on certification, visit the Professional Certification section of the - http://www.iaap-hq.org/PEC09/index.htm
