"Successful Relationships Between Managers and Administrative Professionals"
Bring a co-worker, a friend or a high school senior planning to enter the business
world next year for this exciting meeting! Matthew Macdonald from OfficeTeam will be with us
to update us on this important area. One of the keys to building strong teams is
maintaining effective work relationships between administrative personnel and the
people they support. But do supervisors and administrative professionals agree on
what makes a good partnership? OfficeTeam and IAAP conducted a survey of
managers and support staff to find out. This presentation highlights the survey
findings and offers insight into issues that affect today's administrative professionals,
including how to enhance communication, ensure optimal use of tools and resources,
and prepare for increased responsibility.

"How Do I Do This….In Excel?"
Meeting attendees will move from the Community
Room following dinner to Salem Cyberspace for a classroom discussion and hands-on
experience with a Salem Cyberspace instructor who will answer our questions
concerning procedures in Excel. As Salem Cyberspace's classroom has only 13
workstations, any attendee with access to a laptop computer is welcome to bring it and
we will double up otherwise where necessary. We will ask that questions be submitted
in advance of the meeting.

the phone...in your bunny slippers? This program will discuss the challenges and
rewards associated with being a virtual assistant. Do you have what it takes to work
from home? What systems and processes would you need to put in place in order to
be successful? How do you then separate work from home? Working from home can
