What Employers Should Know About IAAP

IAAP works in partnership with employers to promote professional excellence.

• IAAP's primary purpose is to provide education, training, leadership development, and networking opportunities for its members.

• IAAP annual membership dues are very reasonable and a good investment should a company decide to pay all or part of the dues for their administrative staff.

• "Skills Standards" are buzzwords for businesses, educators, and government today. IAAP has had a very effective "standard-setting" program in place since 1951: The Certified Professional Examination!

• Topics/speakers at the IAAP International Convention and Education Forum, as well as District, Division, and Chapter meetings benefit both the individual and their employer.

• IAAP World Headquarters offers a wide variety of training materials, publications, and research findings on all aspects of office administration. OfficePro magazine, published nine times per year, has won several awards for publication excellence.
