Administrative Professionals® celebrated their 60th anniversary
during the chapter meeting on October 8, 2012. The chapter was
chartered under the name of Rock River Chapter on October 25,
1952. The name was changed recently to better identify where
we are located and to encourage office professionals from both
sides of the river to become members.
The celebration included a ribbon cutting ceremony by the Quad
Cities Chamber of Commerce. The chapter recently joined the
chamber to become part of a larger network of companies and
organizations through the Quad Cities.
The Association has been in existence since 1942 and is now
known as the International Association of Administrative
Professionals (IAAP) to further reflect the various job titles used by
administrative support staff in today's workplace.
Our website www.iaap-quadcity.org provides up to date
information on events happening at the Quad City Chapter.
Quad City Chapter sponsors a student chapter at Black Hawk
College. We encourage the students to attend chapter meetings
and take advantage of the speakers and programs presented on
topics of interest to administrative professionals.
IAAP is celebrating its 70th anniversary through December 31, 2012
and has reduced membership dues to $70.00 for all levels of
membership.
IAAP continues to provide education and training and set
standards of excellence recognized by the business community on
a global perspective. Our present and future vision is "to inspire
and equip all administrative professionals to attain excellence."
