Professional Training and Development Committee

This committee provides ongoing training and development programs to help office professionals achieve their highest potential. Our goal is to sponsor good training programs and services that will improve the quality of work, enabling office professionals to feel value and challenged. Some of our services include the following:

  • Maintaining a resource library that includes CAP material for our members.
  • Representation on the Three Rivers Council that provides community-based training opportunities for office professionals.
  • Encourage chapter focus and program participation in APW sponsored activities.

Please check here often for our plans for the extra-special chapter meeting for April in honor of Administrative Professionals Week® and Administrative Professionals Day®.
