PA PROFESSIONAL BODIES
Personal Assistants, Executive Assistants, Management Assistants & Virtual Assistants
The following PA professional bodies are a sample of the PA organisations available to Executive Personal Assistants, Management Assistants, Secretaries and Administrators. Every professional has its own professional organisations; therefore, membership of a PA professional body will reinforce the status of PAs as professionals and managers in their own right. These organisations should also allow PAs to network with other PAs for best practices and problem solving.
