The International Association of Administrative Professionals is a not-for-profit professional association for office professionals with approximately 21,000 members and affiliates and nearly 600 chapters worldwide. Our mission is to enhance the success of career-minded administrative professionals by providing opportunities for growth through education, community building and leadership development.

The Keystone State has over 490 active members and welcomes any administrative professional to join our organization! The Pennsylvania Division currently has 18 open chapters and 2 corporate chapters.

The Bucks County Chapter has been helping administrative professionals reach their potential since April 1, 1969. Our members are employed as administrative professionals in a variety of businesses in the Delaware Valley.

The Certified Administrative Professional (CAP) rating is the internationally recognized standard of proficiency as an administrative professional. The newly updated CAP Review guide is now available. Download THIS Adobe PDF file

You'll improve your professional qualifications, increase your skills and knowledge and raise your self-esteem by taking and passing the exams. You may also obtain college credit and, according to the latest survey from OfficeTeam, get up to a 7 percent increase in salary. The Institute for Certification believes that a top-level administrative professional should have basic knowledge of office systems, technology, office administration, and management, and know how to apply the principles of good human relations and communications. Some of the examinations are based on knowledge acquired by the office professional through formal education and informal reading. Employers also expect their admin to be thoroughly familiar with current techniques in office practice and procedures and aware of developments in office systems and technology. Why wait? Do something for yourself and your career today. Get certified!

The Foundation of IAAP offers education, research and training to the administrative professional community, in addition to community based initiatives inclusive of the retirement housing at Vista Grande. Through the donations of IAAP members and other stakeholders in IAAP, such as our valued corporate partners, we will continue to support admins now and into the future.
