Ernest Barbaric, Digital Marketing Strategist & Keynote Speaker
The Ripple Effect
As much as we'd like to think that we're in control of our own decisions. it's actually one big messy process. We are just now starting to uncover some of the psychology behind decision making and just as we started inching towards some knowledge, social media came into play and changed everything.
Join Ernest on the evening on February 27th and find out how exactly social media influences your everyday purchasing decisions. We'll talk about the hidden psychology of a single Facebook status update and how it can affect your diet, wardrobe or the car you drive.

Leslie Davies, Impact Images Essentials Group
Decoding Business Casual and the Language of Your Wardrobe
Let's face it, the way we dress speaks volumes about us! It sets expectations of who we are, how we behave and the quality of work we'll deliver. But with increasingly vague dress codes and business casual creeping into Monday through Thursday dressing, it's becoming more confusing and frustrating to get dressed in the morning!
Join us for this session where we'll decode "Business Casual" AND keep it real (in other words, remain authentic and not encourage you to be someone you're not).
CURRENT NEWS
The Association of Administrative Assistants celebrates 60 years of 'Professionalism through Education' in May 2012.
May 24th will be a public workshop with two guest speakers. We are proud to have both Helen Wilkie, President Elect for the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS), followed by an afternoon with Rhonda Scharf from On the Right Track. On May 25th, the Toronto Charter Branch will host the National Board meeting --- free to all members, however no voting rights for motions on the floor. This is a great opportunity to experience the 'behind the scenes' discussions on how a Canadian non-for-profit organization manages Association business. The 26th of May will encompass the National Annual General meeting with budget and election process, followed by a Qualified Administrative Assistant luncheon.
Please mark these dates in your calendars and join us on May 24-26, 2012, in Toronto, to help celebrate this glorious milestone! Watch for further details in the coming months.
