Edison to Host Administrative Professionals Day Program  
March 27, 2012 

Edison Community College will present a program Wednesday, April 25, in recognition of Administrative Professionals Day that salutes the many contributions of support staff through the area. 

The program is open to all office support professionals, including administrative assistants, executive assistants, office managers, and other employees who provide secretarial or administrative support for one or multiple supervisors. 

“This will be our 20th year that we have held an event for Administrative Professionals at Edison,” said Patti Ross, Dean for Information Technology and Engineering at Edison. “We design this event as a celebration of the contributions and value that our administrative professionals bring to our work environments.” 

The featured speaker at this year’s program will be Renee Glenn, a Certified Image Consultant and President of Your Image Matters, LLC. Ms. Glenn’s presentation entitled “Image Advantage” will address factors, including but not limited to our dress, that impact the image we project. 

“It is imperative that administrative professionals keep abreast of changes in the workplace, along with new technology in an ever-changing world,” said Gloria A. Harpest, Administrative Vice President of Human Resources & Marketing of Greenville National Bank, and chairperson of the Office Systems & Administration Advisory Committee at Edison Community College. 

The day’s event will include a fashion show sponsored by area retailers CJ Banks of Piqua and Peebles of Sidney. 

Those interested in participating will need to register by April 10. Cost to attend is $30 per person, which includes admission to all sessions, lunch and refreshments, and a door prize drawing. The event runs from 12:30-4 p.m. and will be held at Edison’s Piqua main campus. Limited reserved parking will be available.
