A new IAAP year! So much to do, so little time. It’s an exciting time for us as a chapter and organization. We’re facing changes and it’s only through working as a team will we be able to reach our goal. One goal is to remain competitive and relevant now and in the future. Frequent change is a fact of life, personally and professionally. How we choose to embrace change affects how successful we can become. Change also gives us the opportunity to share our thoughts and ideas and address our concerns. We are change agents and leaders. I know we are looking forward to incorporating our expertise as we redefine our role as an organization. This is the time to sharpen our skills and gain better insight as to the way ahead. I will also take this occasion to pay tribute to Susan Goeltzenleuchter. Susan served as our 2012-2013 Chapter President. She exhibited a profound sense of loyalty, humility, and commitment to excellence indicative of the administrative professional. MAHALO, Susan, your service led to the success of The Lakeland Chapter and IAAP. As a chapter, we will continue to strive for excellence through our network with others, staying positive, and embracing change!!

Constructing Your Career: The Unique Role of a Multi-Manager Administrative Assistant
Description
Gillian Guy Chapter President
This educational presentation encompasses the dynamics of supporting multiple managers as an administrative professional.

What is IAAP? The International Association of Administrative Professionals is a not-for-profit professional association for office professionals with approximately 40,000 members and affiliates and nearly 600 chapters worldwide. Our mission is to enhance the success of career-minded administrative professionals by providing opportunities for growth through education, community building and leadership development. The association was founded in 1942 as the National Secretaries Association to provide a professional network and educational resources for secretarial staff. The association's name was changed in 1998 to the International Association of Administrative Professionals to encompass the large number of varied administrative job titles and recognize the advancing role of administrative support staff in business and government. For more information, please visit the IAAP main website at www.iaap-hq.com or visit the Lakeland Chapter website at www.iaaplakeland.com.

A new IAAP year is underway and this year our goal is to retain our current membership, as well as bring in new members. They would bring us even more fresh ideas in making our chapter even more successful. We will focus on the Member of Excellence and helping each member try to achieve this award. I will discuss more at the August meeting.
MEMBERSHIP CORNER
MJ Montgomery, CAP Membership Chair
From IAAP Headquarters Website
Leading Administrative Professionals Since our beginnings as an association, those working in the administrative profession have turned to IAAP for guidance in an often turbulent, ever-changing work environment. Throughout the years, the ways that IAAP helps its members and defines the profession has changed with the culture. Our new brand is a reflection of those changes. This new logo better communicates the centralized nature of our organization; that we are the “go to” association for our profession. The logo, along with the new tag line, encapsulates all that we are: The center of business and the center of a well-functioning office. If you're an established veteran looking for new skill sets and connections, new to the profession and looking for guidance, or anywhere in-between, IAAP is there. IAAP—Leading Administrative Professionals. As an outcome of the Futures Conference held March 2013 in Anaheim, Calif., major stakeholders made the recommendation to refresh the visual identity of IAAP to increase global brand awareness. IAAP contracted with an agency, which has years of experience working with associations and non-profits, to launch a rebranding effort for the organization. For years, IAAP had lived under its globe logo, which did not adequately represent the profession. Nor did the old logo include a tagline that clearly defined what the association encompassed. As a rule, your tagline is a 3-second elevator pitch. It should quickly and succinctly educate someone on the intent of the business or organization.
