The 2008 Executive Secretary, PA And Office Manager Conference

Event Description

Many people see job titles like Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant or  Office Manager as fancy names for general run-around helpers.

But the reality is different, these are complex and challenging roles. The complex range and variety of tasks undertaken by administrative professionals in the 21st century is far removed from the old days of shorthand, typing and answering phones.

An increasingly vital and skilled role in today's office, executive secretaries, PAs and office managers need skills in management functions and technology, including: project management, software applications; organisation and scheduling; internet / intranet communications and research; document preparation, storage and retrieval; customer service; and public relations.

This is a tall order for any person. Not to mention that these tasks are often undertaken in a dynamic, high-stress, time-pressured business environment. The Executive Secretary, PA And Office Manager Forum is dedicated to giving delegates the chance to take time out, learn new things, and refresh their memory on old ones, and to network with colleagues from a range of organisations around the region.
