DIRECTOR DIALOGUES | PHIANDRA PECK | December 2018

Tis the season for family, celebration and thoughts of reflection. Most of us are preparing to wrap up 2018 with performance summaries and thoughts for development needs in 2019. I hope that you take time to consider your involvement with IAAP as you think ahead. Yes, IAAP! The beginning of each calendar year starts the IAAP leadership recruitment season. Are you ready to further develop your leadership potential? Do you enjoy connecting with other IAAP members? Would you like to learn skills and contribute to the future success of IAAP? If so, I challenge you to step up and apply for an IAAP leadership position.

IAAP wants to be the association that builds leaders that are able to transcend the administrative profession. Let us help you recognize the leadership potential within yourself.  
I know that the thought of taking on leadership responsibilities can be overwhelming. However, many of the skills you already use every day in the workplace can help you be successful. Bring your courage, vision, drive, and critical thinking to share and lead up.

IAAP offers many leadership roles for you to choose from.  Options include IAAP Board of Directors, IAAP Foundation Board of Directors, Regional Director, Branch Director, standing committee or working group. Each leadership role offers its own unique development opportunity for you. Regional Director applications will be accepted starting January 2, 2019. More information, including a position description and responsibilities can be found here. Applications and information for all other leadership roles will be published at various times when the applicable position is recruiting. Be on the lookout for the application period that applies best to the role for you.

Let IAAP help you rise up out of your comfort zone and step up to lead. Contact any member of the IAAP Board of Directors for questions. Better yet, be sure to register to attend Summit 2019 in National Harbor, MD and discuss opportunities with us in person. Early bird registration ends January 31, 2019.

Make 2019 the year you step out of the shadows. Take a chance, apply for new leadership roles and help make IAAP one of the best with your fresh, valuable input.
