	CAP Certification Journey	1		B. Kempf	Belinda, I think it's always wise to have our eyes on our future career path and always be planning ahead, no matter how long we have been with a company.

	Discovering IAAP What an Epic Journey To Date!	2		H. Stirling	I love that you have jumped in with both feet in IAAP. You really do get out of any organization at least as much as you are willing to put into it. Your story reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by Anaïs Nin: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” by M. Herman Friday, May 27, 2016
	CAP Certification Journey (Sept 2016)	2		D. Renz	Many of us kind of "fall into" the administrative profession and then after doing it for a few years, look around and say... "well, I guess if I'm going to make this a career, I'd better start taking it seriously." I think that is when people actively start looking for professional associations like IAAP and certification programs. I've worked for engineering firms. They are often more supportive because of the licensing required for their own professions. I think it makes them take the idea of training more seriously than some other professions. That is awesome that your company is so supportive.I can't wait to see those initials after your name!!! Marie by M. Herman Friday, May 27, 2016
	Beginning my CAP journey	3		E. Wood	You go, girl! I know you can make it!I firmly believe that WE are ultimately responsible for our careers, not our companies. We need to lay the groundwork for future jobs and sometimes we need to convince our bosses and companies that we are ready to move up and do more or that we deserve more for what we currently do. But it would be extremely difficult to accept any opportunities that arose if you had never taken the time to prepare your skills and yourself for that future opportunity. Let's do this! :)Marie by M. Herman Friday, May 27, 2016
