May 17, 2010- Important Meeting for Old Town Alexandria Chapter!

Good evening, chapter members and friends.

Please mark this date on  your calendar- Monday,  May 17, 2010 for our open board /planning meeting.  The formal notice from Eventbrite will be out in a day or so.  This is open to all . Not just chapter members- but it really should be a majority of chapter members in attendance.  It's all about You.

This is a very important meeting to discuss how we want to move our chapter forward in terms of leaders' roles and chapter procedures.  Doesn't really sound as exciting as a day off with pay, but at least dinner will be free! lol.

Okay.. more soon from me.  I owe you a Chapter President's report and a more detailed update.  Maybe I'll combine the two.--  No writing tomorrow.  I must survive Game 7 Caps vs. Montreal in the NHL playoffs tomorrow night.   Fingers crossed and Rockin' the Red.  (if you aren't a hockey fan..my sincerest apologies.. If you root for another team.. it's okay.  I love all hockey..  and.. just wait until football season!)

Administrative Professionals Week- We are celebrating early!

Good morning, chapter members and friends.

It's early Monday morning and I am really thrilled about this week.  For, Tuesday, April 13, 2010 twenty-two members and friends of IAAP have registered for our event. Really!  

We have a wonderful program planned and of course, a great keynote speaker, Doris England, CPS/CAP- our Virginia-West Virginia division president.   Matt Whitaker and his staff at Intelligent Office in Alexandria are hosting our APW event at their superb office space -just off Eisenhower Avenue and Mill Road.  There is plenty of parking and if you are taking Metro- the location is about a 3 block walk from Eisenhower Avenue Station on the Yellow Line.

We can still fit a few more folks- so please register if you are planning on attending-  You can go to this site.  http://otacapw.eventbrite.com/.  This site also has the map and phone for our meeting location. 

Have a great Monday and look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening.

I say.. Let's have some fun!- Administrative Professionals Week Celebration

Hope everyone is enjoying some of the Spring weather here in the DC Metro area.  Myself?  Well, I'm a Northern girl and love the cold and snow. However, I do love seeing all the flowers and trees blooming.

One week from tonight we'll be celebrating Administrative Professionals Week with good friends and good food.  We have over fifteen attendees registered already. I'm really looking forward to this event.

Doris England, CPS/CAP is traveling up from Roanoke, Virginia (a little over four hours) to come share her thoughts on the opportunities for leadership in the administrative field.  Matt Whitaker, our host from Intelligent Office will give us an update on his facility and his company's mission in the modern workplace.

If you haven't had a chance to check out a chapter event yet-- this is a great one to check out.  We'll also have our new chapter badges ready for you to pick up.  Yep!.. We'll take pictures for the blog as well. 

I wish all of you a wonderful April and of course, Administrative Professionals Week.

Respectfully,

Kemetia
