I have spent years in the field growing from a State Tested Nursing Assistant to an Activity Coordinator to an Administrative Assistant and to my current role as Executive Assistant to the CEO. In my position I am able to assist our CEO achieve her goals for our organization, still able to learn new things and am also able to  share my knowledge with fellow co-workers to help make their jobs easier.   
I think it is important for all administrative assistants to be recognized for the skills they bring to the game.  An important step for Administrative Assistants is to become certified.  So I am taking that next step to show that I am more than just a secretary.  I am going to become a Certified Administrative Professional.  ]]> Sun, 19 Dec 2021 15:09:00 GMT https://www.iaap-hq.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1645602 https://www.iaap-hq.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1645602 Sun, 19 Dec 2021 19:44:16 GMT https://www.iaap-hq.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1645825 https://www.iaap-hq.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1645825 Mon, 20 Dec 2021 16:48:52 GMT https://www.iaap-hq.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1645953 https://www.iaap-hq.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1645953
I agree with you on the value of certification and being recognized for our full value in the workplace. ]]> Mon, 20 Dec 2021 22:49:39 GMT https://www.iaap-hq.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1645968 https://www.iaap-hq.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1645968 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 00:18:48 GMT https://www.iaap-hq.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1646622 https://www.iaap-hq.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1646622 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 12:14:36 GMT
