Lori Frederick
Chapter Role:
I joined IAAP in December 2011 after discussing with Laurie Hoelzel all the positives that went along with an IAAP membership. I am honored to be the Vice President of IAAP this term and have enjoyed arranging and communicating chapter and BOD meetings. It is a treat to share my profession and the passion for this organized, problem-solving, prioritizing, adaptable, detail-oriented field of ours with these fine women of IAAP!
On the Job:
I have had many titles in my 25 year career including Office Manager, Executive Secretary, Administrative Assistant and Accounting & Human Resources Assistant. Currently, I have been working for three years as an Administrative Assistant within the Global Marketing Research & Analytics department at Kimberly-Clark. I began many years ago with graduating from Patricia Stevens Career College, Milwaukee with an Executive Secretarial degree. After that I worked at several attorneys’ offices in Milwaukee and Appleton, Neenah Foundry Company and then worked on a part-time basis with the Weidert Group (advertising agency in Appleton) after having my children. At Kimberly-Clark I am an Administrative Assistant for two Global Directors, a Senior Manager and 13 others within the GMR&A department. I thoroughly enjoy the variety of each work day whether I am setting up surveys, scheduling interviews, producing a newsletter, planning details of global meetings, calendar maintenance or travel planning. In November, 2013 I did achieve the Professional Administrative Certificate of Excellence (PACE) thru the American Society of Administrative Professionals organization (this was prior to my knowledge of IAAP!)
Beyond IAAP:
My husband, Tom and I have three children, Ryan (24), Shelby (22) and Abby (20)—who are all currently in college. Our family is enjoying our recent lake cabin purchase near the Wisconsin/U.P. border as we enjoy fishing, boating and all things outdoors. I dabble in a variety of crafts, playing volleyball and traveling.
