Carmen,
I was inspired by your story. I am confident you will do well on the September exam. You have a great tool in the CAP Study Guide, and Marie's reputation for preparing successful exam applicants is second to none. Kudos to the organization you have hired on with. Especially the HR team for recognizing the value the administrative position contributes to the organization. Hopefully with our newest collaboration with SHRM - the association for HR Managers IAAP will become an even more recognized training and networking field for the administrative professional.
Vicki Hahn, CMC, CAP-OM
