Administrative Professional Day keynote speaker, Elle Zimmerman
Edison presents
Administrative Professional Day
Edison Community College will present its annual Administrative
Professional Day program on April 22 to salute the many contributions
of support staff throughout the area. Sponsored by Edison’s Office
Systems and Administration Advisory Committee, the event will be held
at the Piqua campus from 11:45 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The program is open to all office support professionals, including
administrative assistants, executive assistants, office managers, and
other employees who provide secretarial or administrative support for
one or multiple supervisors. Supervisors and managers of those
administrative professionals are encouraged to attend with their valued
employees.
“This will be the 23rd year that we have held an event for
administrative professionals at Edison,” said Shirley Moore, Dean of
Business, Information Technology and Engineering at Edison. “We design
this event as a celebration of the contributions and value that all
administrative professionals bring to all work environments.”
Edison partners with corporate sponsors whose financial support makes
this day possible. This year’s corporate sponsors include the City of
Piqua; Emerson Climate Technologies; Greenville National Bank;
Hobart/ITW Food Group; Upper Valley Women’s Center; Upper Valley Career
Center; and Wilson Memorial Hospital.
The featured speaker at this year’s program will be Elle Zimmerman, a
speaker, coach, and actor with 20 years of professional stage
experience. Ms. Zimmerman is associated with the Curtis Zimmerman Group
of Mason, Ohio.
Zimmerman’s presentation entitled “The Path to Leadership” will provide
attendees with proven methods and acting techniques to become empowered
with leadership skills, be positive change agents, handle their
progression expectations, accept failure as part of the process, and be
the standard of excellence in their organization.
“Administrative professionals are the heart of any office,” said Gloria
A Harpest, Administrative Vice President of Human Resources and
Marketing of Greenville National Bank and Chairperson for the Office
Systems and Administration Advisory Committee at Edison Community
College. “Smooth operation in today’s office is contingent on
administrative professionals who are organized in every aspect of their
work life.”
The day’s event schedule this year will include seven breakout sessions
addressing a variety of pertinent topics such as “Take Center Stage
with your Leadership Skills,” Electronic Employment Portfolios,”
“Health Rhythms,” “Create Your Own Virtual Assistant Online Business
from your Home,” “MS Word Tips and Tricks,” “Crazy Life . . . I’ve got
an app for that!” and “Skills to Look Like a Professional.”
Those interested in participating will need to register by April 9.
Cost to attend is $35 per person, which includes admissions to all
sessions, a buffet lunch and refreshments, and entry in the drawing for
door prizes. Limited reserved parking will be available.
