IAAP Launches Strategic Guide for Executive-Administrative Pairs

Developed to address the often informal nature of workplace partnerships, the guide provides a structured 10-section framework designed for busy professionals. By utilizing companion editions—one tailored for administrative staff and one for executives—the program ensures both sides of the partnership align on expectations, workflows, and shared accountability. According to IAAP CEO Melissa Mahoney, the framework is specifically built to help teams move beyond basic support roles toward a model of intentional collaboration.

The resource includes case studies, trust-building exercises, and questions designed to streamline communication. For those seeking professional development, completion of the workbook and an associated assessment qualifies administrative professionals for up to 25 CAP® recertification points. The bundle is currently available through the association for $39.99, offering a practical toolkit for organizations looking to improve productivity and retention by formalizing these critical professional connections.
