Administrative professionals are rock stars. You get up and deliver, all day, every day. But have you ever paused to ask yourself why you do it? We all have a reason for giving it our all every day. It may be pride in the work you produce, or taking care of your family, or living out your passions or mission. Finding and owning your why will give you focus and purpose, not only on those great days, but especially on the rough days. Owning your why gives you confidence to step into spaces and roles you belong in and your voice strong when sharing your value and needs.

Summit 2022 focuses on helping you own your why and enhance your value. The profession is ever-evolving, and you have to learn new skills and competencies to perform today and prepare for tomorrow. From Project Management, to AI for Admins, to Change Management, Summit 2022 provides the tools and resources for admins today and in the future. And with sessions like Creating a You Portfolio, Using Your Voice Effectively, and Digging In When It Gets Tough, you’ll leave with no doubts about both your why and your value.

IAAP has its own why; providing resources, training, advocacy, and community for every administrative professional. We are honored to celebrate 80 years of owning our why in 2022 and we hope you can join us in Nashville to celebrate with us! We’ll spend some time not only looking at history but, more importantly, looking to the future and our next 80 years!
