The Research and Educational Foundation wants to help you grow your career!
We're going to do that with the R&E's new 2012 EFAM Scholarship Program. The program helps cover the cost of attendance for temporarily unemployed admins or those who have never been to EFAM before. It's part of the foundation's commitment to helping admins reach and maintain their professional edge. Scholarship applications will be accepted starting October 1, 2011 through January 31, 2012.
Visit the updated R&E Web page to learn more about the EFAM scholarships, the foundation and how to help the R&E reach its goals. The page includes an FAQ about the R&E, PowerPoint presentation and script, scholarship information and donation forms. It's the go-to source for the R&E.
Please join the R&E as we advance the careers of administrative professionals.

Gift of Membership
Do you have a special co-worker or friend who is also an administrative professional? If you'd like to do something special for him or her we have the perfect idea: The Gift of Membership. It's a great way to introduce your friends and co-workers to IAAP. Maybe it's a way to help that admin that just got laid off, or as a special gift for your son or daughter who is now a part of the profession.
It's easy to give the Gift of Membership. You can either mail/fax in the Gift of Membership form or call Headquarters with your information, including payment, and the name and contact information of the recipient. After the membership department gets the information, they will send out an e-mail informing the recipient of his or her Gift of Membership. It only takes a few minutes but gives a gift that lasts an entire year.
Don't let another day go by. Give the perfect gift, the Gift of Membership.
