What a great place to network with our peers and a place we can learn and grow as a person and as an assistant. I went through most of my career unaware that we as admin assistants had a professional association. Since I have become a member of IAAP I don't know why I didn't join before.

This is where an assistant network can come in handy. I often reach out to my network to get answers to problems that come up at the office or just to lend a sympathetic ear. When you leave a job, you dont have to leave your network behind. Having the opportunity to hash it out with another assistant is a great resource.

Networking and knowing lots of people is a good thing, but I think the reason some people know so many people and have good connections is because they have a good reputation and people think highly of them. Some people say it is who you know that gets you the job. The two work together. Having a good working reputation is important.

The advantages I found in being part of a professional organization are: It is a great place for networking with other admin assistants.
