...ICAP would like to make 2012 even better The ICAP Indaba
Once the CAP rating has been achieved, graduates need to recertify every 5 years in order to keep themselves active and show that they have done continuous education in order to keep themselves up to date with the workplace.
For the past 5 years ICAP has brought the Annual ICAP Indaba to the office professionals of South Africa. In 2011, ICAP decided to hold their first Confex (Conference and Exhibition).
Congratulations also go to the following graduates for recertifying in May 2011: • Annelise Leopard CAP • Rosemary Mofolo CAP • Teresa Cotterell CAP
With exhibitors such as Square Forests, Pyramid Day Spa, Options in Training, Kelly and Ergo-tilt it marked the beginning of a new tradition for the ICAP Indaba.
The IAAP Johannesburg Chapter at Large In February 2010 the first international chapter at large was installed. Since then the Chapter has held various networking events for administrative professionals. The aim of the Chapter is for likeminded office professionals to meet and to share their knowledge and skills. The Chapter would also like to raise awareness of the profession in the workplace. The theme for 2011/2012 of the International Association for Administrative Professionals (IAAP) is “Making the Leap to Remarkable” and therefore the Chapter decided to build on a mentoring project and start a bursary scheme for a deserved student. Being a non-profit organisation, the Chapter however realised that it would be imperative to find sponsors and office professionals who are willing to assist in the education of those who are unable to pay for a higher certificate in Office Administration. For more information on how you can get involved with the IAAP Johannesburg Chapter at Large please contact the chapter on info@iaap-johannesburg.org
The Institute for Certified Administrative Professionals will be hosting their sixth annual ICAP Indaba with an Office Exhibition on 16-17 May 2012 at the Gold Reef City Casino Convention Centre.

the products and services that are available to them to in order to make their working days more productive and fun!
The Institute for Certified Administrative Professionals (ICAP) wish you all the best for the rest of 2011 and a wonderful new year and 2012.
