About Us

Profile Chapter was established in January 1955 when its first officers were installed.  The first official meeting took place on February 3, 1955 with fourteen members in attendance.  Our membership is made up of individuals mainly from the southern New Hampshire towns of Concord, Manchester, Nashua, as well as several other surrounding towns.  For the 2012-2013 chapter year, meetings will be held at the Country Inns & Suites, 250 South River Road, Bedford, NH on the first Wednesday of every month between September and June.  Members meet from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. and meetings are centered around a one-hour educational presentation and a short business meeting, with time for networking.  An optional dinner is served for a fee.

Profile Chapter adheres to the mission and core values of the International organization.

The International Association of Administrative Professionals is a not-for-profit professional association for office professionals with approximately 40,000 members and affiliates and nearly 600 chapters worldwide. Our mission is to enhance the success of career-minded administrative professionals by providing opportunities for growth through education, community building and leadership development. The association founded in 1942 as the National Secretaries Association to provide a professional network and educational resources for secretarial staff. The association's name was changed in 1998 to the International Association of Administrative Professionals to encompass the large number of varied administrative job titles and recognize the advancing role of administrative support staff in business and government.
