Edison State to
recognize administrative professionals
Edison State Community College will present a program on Wednesday,
April 26 in recognition of Administrative Professional Day that salutes
the many contributions of support staff throughout the area. The Office
Systems and Administration Advisory Committee at Edison State sponsors
the program.
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. Supervisors and managers of those
administrative professionals are encouraged to attend with their valued
employees.
“This will be the 25th year that we have held an event for
Administrative Professionals at Edison State,” said Dr. Paul Heintz,
Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs at Edison State. “We design
this event as a celebration of the contributions and value that all
administrative professionals bring to all work environments. We partner
with corporate sponsors whose financial support makes this day
possible.”
This year’s corporate sponsors include Emerson; Greenville National
Bank; Hobart/ITW Food Group; the City of Piqua; Upper Valley Career
Center-Adult Division; and Wilson Health.
The featured speaker at this year’s program will be Stacy Pettit, an
accomplished speaker, trainer, and licensed professional counselor in
private practice that has appeared regionally and at various statewide
conferences and meetings.
Pettit’s presentation entitled “Celebrate You!” will encourage
attendees to take the time to acknowledge their growth and progress.
With her engaging and passionate personality, Pettit will deliver
content that the audience can immediately apply when they return to
their home and office.
“Administrative professionals are the heart of any office,” said Gloria
A Harpest, Administrative Vice President of Human Resources and
Marketing of Greenville National Bank and Chairperson for the Office
Systems and Administration Advisory Committee at Edison State Community
College. “Smooth operation in today’s office is contingent on
administrative professionals who are organized in every aspect of their
work life.”
The day’s event schedule this year will include eight breakout sessions
addressing a variety of pertinent topics: “Celebrate You: A Plan
of Action,” “Ideas for Coping with Workplace Stress,” “Digital
Etiquette-The Do’s and Don’ts,” “Internet Safety,” “Dress for
Success–Professional Image,” “Office Professionalism,” and “Skills to
Look Like a Professional.”
Those interested in participating will need to register by April 17.
The cost to attend is $35 per person, which includes admission to all
sessions, a buffet lunch and refreshments, and entry into the drawing
for door prizes. The event runs from 11:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will be
held at Edison State’s Piqua Campus. Limited reserved parking will be
available.
