Queensland Division
I am honored to be the President Queensland Division of the Australian Institute of Office Professionals. I would like to express my gratitude to past presidents and their committee volunteering their time in the past 45 years!
I know that as an Office Professional you are dedicated making a difference in a variety of industries.
Imagine a new beginning where as a member of AIOP, you are all playing an active role within our organization; sharing ideas, learning through one of our study pathways, being profiled on our website, attending personal development events, actively seeking new members to increase our shared knowledge base and networking power or just simply enjoying the benefits of our ever generous sponsors.
You have already noticed some of the changes we are implementing on the website and this is just the beginning. We will take your ideas, experiences and use them on our website, newsletters and events to build a wealth of knowledge to share amongst all of us.
The committee of management and myself are always here to support you, listen and mentor... This is your association... this is your opportunity to be the part to shape the association your way.
Let’s start the excitement!
Kind Regards
Erika Entz
President, AIOP Qld Division
