What would you do with the extra time you'd gain each day by enabling your administrative assistants and executive assistants to take on more responsibilities? Concentrate on growing your business and improving your market share or perhaps developing your strategic plan? Such empowerment would give your administrative professionals a greater sense of confidence and job satisfaction, as well. Just imagine if your administrative staff were empowered to:
- act as your project manager, bringing your next project in on time and under budget;
- flawlessly plan and execute your next AGM or major marketing event;
- apply the concepts of human resource management to foster teamwork and cooperation;
- decipher financial statements and suggest plans of action to improve your bottom line; or
- assume more of your day-to-day tasks.
With support from the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP), this and more can be accomplished. In our continuing efforts to provide top-notch educational and professional development for our members, IAAP-Vancouver Chapter now offers an array of opportunities for your company to partner with us. The funds raised will be used for a variety of initiatives, all aimed at guaranteeing our members receive the necessary tools and instructions to not only make their day-to-day tasks easier, but also to prepare them for advanced responsibilities within your organization.

Your gift is not only an ongoing reward for your administrative professional staff, but your company will reap rewards as well. You will be impressed as your staff gain knowledge about office policies and procedures, insight into human resources issues, and financial acumen to read financial statements and identify items that may need further attention. You will be able to turn your attention to higher management issues because your administrative staff will have the skills and confidence to assume more responsibilities.
