IAAP
International Association of Administrative Professionals
What is IAAP?
The International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) is a 501
(c)(6) registered not-for-profit professional association for office professionals
with approximately 22,000 members and affiliates and over 500 chapters
worldwide. Our mission is to enhance the success of career-minded
administrative professionals by providing opportunities for growth through
education, community building and leadership development.
The association founded in 1942 as the National Secretaries Association to
provide a professional network and educational resources for secretarial staff.
The association's name was changed in 1998 to the International Association of
Administrative Professionals to encompass the large number of varied
administrative job titles and recognize the advancing role of administrative
support staff in business and government.

accountability and high ethical standards.
• Respect: We create respect within our profession and association through
listening, understanding and acknowledging member feedback.
• Adaptability: We ensure the success of our association by embracing positive
change and by nurturing diversity, creativity and visionary thinking.
• Communication: We cultivate and maintain excellence by remaining
approachable at all levels, communicating openly and building strong

for career-minded administrative professionals and to strengthen efficiency and
effectiveness.

Career Advantage
If you're looking for ways to help you get ahead in the workplace, stop here. The Certified
Administrative Professional rating is the industry recognized standard of proficiency.
You'll improve your professional qualifications, increase your skills and knowledge and raise your selfesteem by taking and passing the exams. You may also obtain college credit and, according to the latest
survey from OfficeTeam, get up to a 7 percent increase in salary.
The Institute for Certification believes that a top-level administrative professional should have basic
knowledge of office systems, technology, office administration, and management, and know how to
apply the principles of good human relations and communications. Some of the examinations are
based on knowledge acquired by the office professional through formal education and informal
reading. Employers also expect their admin to be thoroughly familiar with current techniques in office
practice and procedures and aware of developments in office systems and technology.
