CIAMC CONFERENCE FOR ADMIN PROFESSIONALS – JULY 2020

1. Background
                                                                     rd
A er a successful maiden conference held on Tuesday 23 July 2019, to celebrate
admin practitioners, the Chartered Institute of Administrators and its strategic
partners in Ghana, once again join the worldwide committee for another round
of celebration. Countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, France, India,
Kenya, New Zealand and Hong Kong, have since 1955 been celebrating
Administrative Professionals week in recognition of the pivotal role secretaries,
o ce managers, administrative executives and o cers play in the success and
survival of organizations.

Internationally, this day of recognition has gone through several transformations
to re ect changing administrative job titles and responsibilities in the modern
economy. Even though its name has changed, the purpose of Admin
Professionals Day has remained the same: to celebrate and shed light on
administration practitioners devoted, valued work. Robert Half in an article,
titled: Administrative Professionals Day: An Opportunity to Say ank You, is of
the view that
         ''Administrative professionals provide real bene ts to the people they
         support and the organization at large, and their work should not go
         unnoticed. And given the role many administrative sta are playing in
         supporting their teams in today's challenging business environment, they
         deserve their time in the spotlight more than ever.''
Every year, Administrative Professionals Day falls on the Wednesday of the last
full week of April. Mark these dates on your calendar:

    · 2020: April 22
    · 2021: April 21
    · 2022: April 27
In some companies, Administrative Professionals Week — the last week of April
— is devoted to celebrating the o ce's treasured administrative sta .
Considering the amount of work that they do, it's no wonder.

We want administration practitioners and allied professionals to feel that
invigorating moment again and again at's why the conference partners pulled
together a list of can't-miss activities for admin professionals conference 2020.
   e theme for the 2020 Conference is "Admins, the pulse of the o ce in crises
situations",
