About Us

Our division is comprised of twenty-nine (29) chapters throughout Georgia. We have both open and closed chapters. Open chapters are those which anyone who meets the requirement as an administrative professional can join. Then there are our closed chapters which are usually those chapters sponsored by their company and its membership is restricted to its employees.

We have approximately 1400 members in Georgia and that number continues to grow. Our members are diversed in culture, age, gender, and skill sets. Many of our members are seasoned and have been with the organization for 60+ years. These members are still very much active and many still attend the monthly chapter meetings.

We pride ourselves on the professional development we offer as a division and also via the local chapters. Our program topics range from software, soft skills, career development, fianancial awareness, and health topics (ie stress, work-life balance, etc.). Being well rounded professionals help us to do our jobs better.
