NOLA – Here come the Admins!

Tomorrow morning, bright and early, I leave for New Orleans for the IAAP convention.

This is an exciting time to be a administrative professional. Technology is changing and we need to change to keep up-to-date. This is an excellent forum to network, share, and learn exactly how to do that.

The thing I would like to impart is that we need to take charge of our career. We cannot be a hamster running on a wheel, trying to meet the needs of everyone. We cannot possibly know everything, let alone do everything.

“What those organizations ought to be doing is helping admins define for themselves who they want to be. They should be helping admins take control of their own profession, and tell the organizations what they’ll do and not do.” These are words from Stacy Brice, Founder of AssistU.

I strongly agree. And now is a perfect time to meet and greet, and start a small revolution.
