Your chance to shine
PAs report disappointment with venues!
Still to come on DD in February
This
issue we return to a main part of your role - organising conferences, meetings,
training days, workshops, and the myriad other get-togethers that fall on your
desk. Many of us would agree that to get a meeting up and running is not rocket
science, and that if you've got plenty of common sense, you'll work it out.
But there are meetings, and there are meetings. And we would hope that you
would want to rise to the next level - where your meetings and conferences
are shining examples of that tremendous mixture of creativity and organisation
demonstrated by the best secretaries, administrators and PAs.
