Allen as "a purely networking event that any member can
organize using a packet from HQ that tells them how to
organize it. It's a way for non-members to get to know us
as well as members and be able to keep connecting with
one another."
Overall, IAAP hopes to attract and retain members by
helping them establish strong local connections, Allen
says, and at the same time standardizing the IAAP experi-
ence "so that if a member went to a meeting in Minneso-
ta and then went to another meeting in Nebraska, they'd
have a similar experience."
Two Canadians serve on the IAAP board of directors.
They are Terri Peters, an executive assistant who lives in
High River, Alberta, and Dawn Becker, an executive as-
sistant who lives in Burnaby, British Columbia.
