More to come on my exciting time at IAAP EFAM - stay tuned! It's funny how many great assistants I have met over the past 19 years in training and development. It was a great pleasure for me at yesterday's event to see many faces from my past and even from my own community. We caught up with each other, laughed, took pictures, and just had a good time. I have been so fortunate to meet and work with great admins like Terri, Connie, Ruth B, Dawn, and Cindy just to name a few.

I am a member of the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP). As part of my membership I get a subscription to IAAP's magazine OfficePro and also to their e-newsletter OfficePro Express. Both of these are excellent sources of information for the administrative assistant. I thought I would pass on something from the e-newsletter because this week there was a link to a Yahoo article with a list of 20 Tips from Air Travel Insiders.

It was such fun for me to be back at IAAP's annual convention. More to come on my IAAP EFAM experience this week. I had not attended since the Reno event a few years ago, where I gave 2 presentations. This trip was different in a very fun way. I was at the OfficeArrow.com booth from 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 meeting, greeting, and hugging admins--autographing books, answering questions and giving advice. It was a non-stop flow of admins and I loved it!

LinkedIn is the Facebook of the business world. I know a lot of assistants are on the website I’m just not sure how many of them are using LinkedIn to its full potential. As I’ve said many times over the last few weeks I really do think assistants should be using social media to enhance all aspects of their career and LinkedIn is a great place to start if you are new to the world of social networking. Here are a few tips on how to use LinkedIn effectively: Complete your profile.

IAAP have an article on their website about how to work more effectively with an administrative assistant that I suggest would be a good start for a conversation with your boss. Have you ever worked for someone and they under-utilized you or just didn't seem to know how to work with an assistant? I once worked for a young boss and you could tell he wasn't quite sure what he could give me or what I was capable of doing.

Organizing an office gift exchange can be an opportunity to create meaningful memories with your coworkers, or, as a recent article on The International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) blog makes clear, a potential minefield of stress and unintentional offense. The IAAP recommends checking with your company''s policies on gift-giving first, and then recommending gifts that aren''t overly intimate or overly expensive.
