President's Welcome

Welcome to the Tulsa Chapter of the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) website. Our chapter is here to mentor and foster your professional development through educational programs and workshops. 

We promote the two IAAP certification designations; Certified Professional Secretary (CPS) and Certified Administrative Professional (CAP); and we offer various professional workshops as opportunities to acquire the knowledge to pass these two certification exams.  These workshops are open to anyone who wishes to attend. 

We also invite you to attend one of our monthly meetings to enjoy our professional education programs as well as learn more about what IAAP has to offer.  After attending a few meetings, we hope you will decide to become a member of Tulsa Chapter and take advantage of all that our professional association offers.
 

Respectfully Yours,

Jolene Yowell CPS
Chapter President

Throughout the year we will provide educational opportunities on a variety of topics – including technology, communication skills, leadership, and personal growth.

IAAP has members in most Fortune 500 companies, hundreds of mid-to small-sized businesses, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and federal, state, and local government agencies.

For over 50 years, IAAP has provided up-to-date research on office trends, cutting-edge publications, outstanding seminars and conferences, and valuable resources to help administrative professionals enhance their skills and become more effective contributors to their employers.

Please join us the first Thursday of each month (with the exception of January)  @ 5:45 PM at Embassy Suites (I-44) located at 3332 South 79th East Avenue, Tulsa, OK 74145) where we provide an opportunity for networking and sharing best practices. You need not be a member to attend.
