Welcome to the Association of Administrative Professionals New Zealand Inc - Te Kawarangi.
Founded in Wellington in 1972, the Association of Administrative Professionals New Zealand Inc - Te Kawarangi (AAPNZ) embraces all administrators to advance and enhance their personal and professional opportunities.
"Our Association encourages personal and professional administrative excellence within a global network".
An excellent opportunity to invest in your career. AAPNZ has 15 groups nationwide offering fantastic networking with similarly experienced professionals; access to wonderful training opportunities; and recognition of members' achievements.
The National Executive Committee are pleased to have two annual subscription dates for new members joining AAPNZ. These are from 1st April and 1st October. Click here for an application form.
Internationally, AAPNZ was successful in securing our bid to host the 8th International Office Professionals Summit in Auckland, New Zealand. The proposed dates are Monday 11 - Saturday 16 July 2011. More information will be available by the end November 2009.
Opportunities and challenges allow for personal and professional development. Goals or dreams that are made and steer us towards a successful future.
The annual AAPNZ theme for 2009-10 is ‘Realise your dreams today, not tomorrow’. Great initiatives at times do not see the light of day for a number of valid reasons. So the challenge is, turn those future goals into reality. Be involved for our profession – visualise the end result, feel the ‘dream’.
Check to see if there is a group near you, and take advantage of networking, mentoring, sharing common experiences, listening to interesting speakers, upskilling, socialising ... and having fun. You too can have that sense of professional identity and belonging through membership of AAPNZ. For more information, please phone 0800 469 737.
2009 AAPNZ Administrative Professional of the Year
Debra Clark of Christchurch, was announced the winner of the 2009 AAPNZ Administrative Professional of the Year Award at the Conference gala dinner held in Takapuna, Auckland on Saturday 8 August.
Debra’s career in Administration spans over 20 years within varying sectors such as social services, iwi, construction, expansion, finance and so on. Her success can be attributed to an analytical and creative mind which allows her to quickly adapt to new situations and solutions and resolve issues quickly and methodically. She has a huge curiosity and thirst for technical knowledge and sees this as the way of the future. Debra works with many teams throughout her portfolio and also supports her community as the Treasurer of a local women’s refuge and also is the current President for AAPNZ Christchurch.
Debra says that having a full life requires discipline and planning and lots of family team work. This year Debra has Licensed AdminCorp and next year she will be furthering her technical knowledge at a local tertiary provider.
Debra is always happy to answers anyone’s questions and looks forward to representing AAPNZ over the coming year. You can contact Debra through christchurch@aapnz.org.nz
