Join us as we recognise and celebrate the work of all administrative professionals at this year’s PAs & Secretaries Day and Summer School to be held at Tamarind Resort (Nyanga) from 20 – 23 September 2023.
Theme: – “Celebrating the Power of Support….”
PAs, Secretaries, Receptionists, Admin Assistants and other support staff don’t always get the recognition they deserve, but let’s face it, companies and bosses will be lost without them! Why not show them how
valued and appreciated they are by sending them to attend this year’s PAs & Secretaries Day and Summer School.
Without our administrative assistants, we’d all be lost in a sea of unfinished paperwork and unscheduled meetings – they are the anchor to every office. With their support on deck, we can rest assured that the ship will weather any storm and for that, we thank them!
