2009 Administrative Professionals Briefing: Don't Miss Out

Attention Administrative Professionals: Did you know that there is an entire week dedicated to recognizing the work you do? It's true! During the week of April 19 - 25, we'll be celebrating this often under-appreciated career and those who do it with such great success each day.

If you're wondering how to best honor yourself - and the other administrative professionals in your office - you'll be pleased to know SkillSoft, in association with the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) and OfficeTeam, has put together a two-hour global event for just this purpose. This event is the only one of its kind - delivered via satellite and the web - and will be taking place on Tuesday, April 21, 2009. There's no better way to celebrate Administrative Professionals Week.

This program is devoted entirely to recognizing, developing and celebrating the contributions of administrative professionals. Keynote presentations will be given by Erik Weihenmayer, the first blind man to reach the summit of Mount Everest, and Laura Stack, personal productivity expert, author, and professional speaker. During this event, the winner of the prestigious OfficeTeam Administrative Excellence Award will also be announced.

The 2009 Administrative Professionals Briefing promises to be an educational and inspirational experience for all who attend. It's also incredibly cost-effective! There's no expensive travel required. You and your fellow administrative professionals can participate from the comfort of your office. The program can be viewed live by satellite or web, and is available on-demand for 90 days after the live event. Additionally, event participants are eligible to receive two CPS/CAP recertification points through IAAP. For a preview of what to expect at this event click here.
