Professional meetings and activities
Association of Administrative Assistants
Members approve re-branding for AAA
Motions to rename both the Association of Administrative
Assistants (AAA) and the Qualified Administrative
Assistant (QAA) designation were approved at the June
2016 National Annual General Meeting.
Sometime in 2017, after legal preparatory and other
work are completed, the organization will take the name
Association of Administrative Professionals. The QAA
designation will become Canadian Certified Administrative
Professional.
Some decisions may require discussion and approval at
the 2017 Annual General Meeting prior to the re-branding
launch. Updates will be provided as they become available.
