Well I have to agree with Jackie as that thinking is a bit naive.

Are you telling me that no employer hires a Secretary these days?  I know the term is a bit old fashioned but as I said my current job title is Secretary and my last job title was Group Secretary.

Where in the term IPA does it refer to Personal Assistants, Executive Secretaries, Executive Assistants etc?  The term administrator in my opinion does not cover this better.

A much more appropriate and modern day term to use would have been the Institute of Professional Assistants - as that is what we are.  In our daily roles, we assist those around us.

Each year in Belfast CIPFA host a seminar in recognition of Admin Assistants Day.  It's a wonder they didn't take that into account when they rebranded.

I hope you do air the views posted here.
