NEW - AIOP WA DIVISION LOYALTY CARD
Do you attend our Business functions on a regular basis? If not, AIOP WA Division has introduced a new incentive for people attending our Business Dinners or Luncheons. Attend six and get your seventh dinner or luncheon absolutely free of charge. To take advantage of this offer, you must attend in person to have your card stamped. Loyalty Cards are not transferable and only the card holder is entitled to a stamp. For this reason, it is important that you always wear your name tag. This offer is applicable to business dinners and luncheons only. This is a genuine offer - and we hope to see many of you at our functions throughout the year.
In addition AIOP WA provides:
- Inspiring, motivational and highly professional guest speakers at our regular member functions.
- An annual professional development seminar.
- An annual National Office Professionals' Day Breakfast held in early May, which is celebrated around Australia, in conjunction with the announcement of the "Office Professional of the Year" Awards.
- Strong leadership and a dedicated committee of management that ensures membership growth is consistent and steady with the overall benefit that most areas of the business community are represented in our membership base.
- A fully operational South West branch which provides professional development opportunities for our colleagues living outside the metropolitan area.
- The opportunity to attend an AIOP international conference every two years which provides a wealth of knowledge and experience to attendees.
