NOT A MEMBER YET ? - WELL WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!
There is often very little professional development available throughout our workplace for secretaries, administrators or office professionals and it is AIOP’s aim to fill that gap. Apart from national partnerships enjoyed by AIOP, the NT is privileged to have local relationships with Registered Training Organisations providing opportunities for self development.
Becoming a member provides these benefits and more so why not consider Individual membership or perhaps your company would prefer to join as a Corporate member giving them four nominated representatives. Organisations acknowledge their Secretaries, Personal Assistants and Executive Administrators are their greatest asset and remember your membership is tax deductible.
