Administrative Professionals Week

4/24/2019

​Admin Pro Week
 
“The exceptional administrative professional is grace, skill, mental toughness, problem solving, positivity, endless smiles, genius, and desired outcomes in motion.” – Ty Howard
 
Happy Administrative Professionals Week from UAEOP!
 
A secretary, as a definition at Merriam-Webster.com reads, “one employed to handle correspondence and manage routine and detail work for a superior”. Obviously they never visited an educational office! When was the last time you had a routine day?!? Even administrative assistant, first used in 1841, is defined as “a person whose job is to support an executive, group, department, or organization especially by handling administrative tasks (such as data entry, correspondence, filing, and scheduling appointments)” does not define what we do every day. As we are celebrating Administrative Professionals Week, I would like to thank all of you for the fantastic job you do daily for your school or office in frequently less than routine circumstances.
 
Thank you for being Amazing Administrative Assistants! Enjoy YOUR week!

NAEOP and the International Day of Happiness

Dear UAEOP Members,
 
     Visit www.naeop.org or click https://www.flipsnack.com/schnorenberg5263/2019-naeop-annual-conference-summit-guide-fdt3g98fh.html for information on the 2019 NAEOP Annual Conference. The conference will be July 15-19 in Boise ID.
 
There will be scholarships for current, active UAEOP members to help defray some expenses not covered by your workplace. The amount available will be determined after all the expenses for the celebration, student scholarship, other bills, etc. have been paid and it will also depend on how many members are going to Boise. If you are interested in attending the conference, contact Sherry Wilson so she can add your name to our list. We’re also coordinating carpools and hotel rooms.
 
     Thanks to all who attended & contributed to making our final UAEOP event successful. We missed those of you who were not able to be there. As mentioned, we don’t want to lose the connections we have made so on a couple of Saturdays a year (March & October) we will announce a “Time Retreat” and if you can come great, if not, hopefully we’ll see you the next time. The time retreat activities might be a visit to a museum or just gathering together, bringing a long forgotten project you want to finish and chatting. Our first date is set for October 12th so mark that on your calendar and watch your email for details.
 
      The website will be up for several months (parts of it may never go away since things on the web tend to last forever). If you want anything in the members only section such as past issues of the BuzzLine or conference materials, you can download those. We’ll continue to post things on the website, blog, and social media sites and produce a final issue of the BuzzLine after we return from Boise.

Mary’s Message

10/14/2018

by Mary Meyers, CEOE, UAEOP President
 
“Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose-- a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye." - Mary Shelley
 
This quote was sent to me many years ago by a dear friend and has given me many hours of quiet contemplation. Our UAEOP theme of “Learn · Connect · Grow” also follows along this line of setting goals for ourselves. When you decide to learn something new, you also have an opportunity to connect with an idea or with others and, as a result, you grow. Having a steady purpose and opportunities to grow in my life has helped to tranquilize my mind and helped me focus on the positive side of life.
 
The beginning of a new school year always has some bumps in the road and chaos close at hand. Setting our minds eye on the positives in life, help us as we travel long these bumpy roads of life’s highway.
 
The Splashes Of Life 

My grandfather took me to the fishpond on the farm when I was about seven and he told me to throw a stone into the water.

He told me to watch the waves created by the stone, and then he asked me to think of myself as that stone.

"You may create a lot of splashes in your life, but remember the waves that come from those splashes will affect the peace of all your fellow creatures," he said.

"Remember that you are responsible for what you throw into your circle, and that your waves will touch many other circles. Always try to live in a way that the waves that come from your circle send out the peace of your goodness to other circles."

"Remember the waves that come from anger and jealousy will also send those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for all the waves."

That was the first time I realized each person creates the inner peace or discord that flows out into the world.

We cannot create world peace if we are riddled with inner conflict, hatred, doubt and anger. We radiate the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside whether we voice them or not. Whatever is sloshing around inside of us is spilling out into the world, creating beauty or discord with all the other circles of life. –Author Unknown

Remember the eternal wisdom: WHATEVER YOU FOCUS ON EXPANDS...

 
Wishing you all a great school year with lots of chances to “Learn, Connect, and Grow.”
 
A shout out to all our awesome administrators across our great state of Utah for your great leadership! Enjoy your day on October 16th!

Free Webinar & 5-Day Challenge: Clear the Clutter and Get Organized at the Office
Presented by: Julie Perrine, CAP®, OM, MBTI® Certified, Certified Productivity Pro® Consultant, Founder & CEO of All Things Admin
Dates: Free Webinar – Wednesday, April 11, 2018, 1 p.m. EDT
5-Day Challenge – Monday, April 16 – Friday, April 20, 2018

As an administrative professional, you know being organized is crucial to your effectiveness. We all have areas where we excel and areas where we struggle when it comes to organization. When we excel, we typically have a good system in place that works with our individual organizing style. When we struggle, it’s a sign the system is broken or worse – there is no system in place at all. Ultimately, systems allow you to create an office that functions smoothly, efficiently, and effectively…no matter what happens!

 
We want to help you create some better systems for organizing your work and increase your productivity at the office! Please join us for this free webinar and 5-day challenge and learn how to create an organized office that will reduce headaches and make your work life easier!

AI and the Administrative Professional: Creating Your Strategy for Integrating AI in Your WorkplacePresented by: Julie Perrine, Founder and CEO of All Things Admin
Date: Available throughout April 2018
From retail to health care, artificial intelligence (AI) technology is seeping into just about every industry, including the administrative field. And it’s only going to increase in popularity in the coming years. Yet some executive assistants see AI as a threat to their careers, and think it will replace them. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Innovative Admin doesn’t need to fear AI. Instead, admins have a lot to gain from engaging with this new technology – from increasing efficiency to reducing errors and improving productivity.
