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


Mission:

 To promote and enhance the professional and personal growth of Tulsa Chapter members through continued education, leadership opportunities and networking, resulting in career advancement and increased value to employers.
