Edison State to
recognize administrative professionals
Edison State Community College will present a program on Wednesday,
April 25 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 26th year that we have honored administrative
professionals,” said Marva Archibald, Assistant Professor of
Occupational Healthcare and Administration at Edison State. “We hold
this event each year to celebrate the many contributions that
administrative professionals bring to the workplace. It is the
financial support from our corporate sponsors that makes this day
possible.”
The day’s events are made possible by this year’s corporate sponsors,
which 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 Officer Paula
Craft, a well-respected member of the Piqua Police Department. In
addition to her normal police duties and investigations, Officer Craft
has previously instructed Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) training and is
currently an Evidence Technician, Field Training Officer, Officer In
Charge, Crisis Intervention Team trained, and part of the Crisis
Response Unit as a Crisis Negotiator. In her career, Officer Craft has
also been awarded the Piqua Police Department Officer of the Year
designation.
In her address entitled “Safety Awareness,” Officer Craft will speak
about various techniques individuals can use to protect themselves from
being attacked in the workplace.
“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
Occupational Health and Administration Advisory Committee at Edison
State. “Smooth operation in today’s office is contingent on
administrative professionals who are organized in every aspect of their
work life.”
The day’s breakout event schedule this year will include two sessions
addressing pertinent topics: “Rape Aggression Defense (RAD)” and
“Hats Off to Administrative Professionals.”
Those interested in participating must register by April 18. 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.
