"Our Association encourages personal and professional administrative excellence within a global network".
On behalf of the 2010/2011 National Executive Committee (NEC) welcome to our website. Please look through these pages and if already a member, make use of the member only pages for valuable information about AAPNZ and opportunities for you to further your training and career. Check the site regularly as we update information as it comes to hand and often have new competitions running for members only.
If you are not a member and would like to know more about us, please email our Membership Officer or anyone else on our contacts page.
Many people are making a career in administrative roles and the breadth of demands and skills required is increasingly acknowledged by the public and employees. With our rapidly changing office environment, it is even more important these days to upskill and stay in touch with your profession through its professional organization.
AAPNZ has 15 groups nationwide offering fantastic networking with similarly experienced professionals; access to wonderful training opportunities; and recognition of members' achievements. Members include recent newcomers to the profession through to experienced administrative professionals, both male and female.
Our membership includes executive assistants, personal assistants, administration managers, receptionists, call centre operators, accounts staff, school secretaries/administrators, industry trainers … anyone involved either full-time or part-time in administrative professional roles, in any industry.
Internationally, AAPNZ is an associate of numerous Administrative Professional Associations and there are opportunities to attend overseas conferences and learn how others operate in similar roles to ourselves. AAPNZ was successful in securing the bid to host the 8th International Office Professionals Summit in Auckland, New Zealand. The proposed dates are Monday 6 – 9 July 2011.
Opportunities and challenges allow for personal and professional development. Goals or dreams that are made steer us towards a successful future.
The AAPNZ theme for 2010-11 is ‘Working Together For Success'
