NAPAHE’s Membership & Professional Development Committee (M&PD) has been busy developing valuable programs and initiatives for our members. We are excited to announce that NAPAHE will continue to offer webinars this fall with topics including Implicit Bias, Robert’s Rules of Order, Office Restructuring and more!
When asked to present a session at this year’s NAPAHE conference on “Mistakes Made, Lessons Learned,” my first thought was, “Isn’t it super special that my professional organization knows it can count on me when looking for someone with experience in screwing things up?”
Dear PA Confidential:
There are some admins at my institution who have been here for decades longer than I have, and they seem to resent my being hired from the outside as the presidential assistant. They resist any attempts I make to influence the way we do things administratively. Meanwhile, the president is urging me to step up and lead. How can I win them over and fulfill what he’s asking of me?
