GREATER|GRAND SUDBURY BRANCH

Welcome/Bienvenue to the City of Greater| Grand Sudbury Branch Home Page

The City of Greater/Grand Sudbury is a city of almost 160,000 and serves as the regional capital of Northeastern Ontario. We are one of the largest municipalities, by area, in Canada with plenty of open space, freshwater lakes, pristine forests and woodlands, parks, recreational facilities and real estate opportunities.

With the third largest French-speaking population outside of Quebec, Sudbury is a bilingual city and the centre of Franco-Ontarian culture in Ontario.

Sudbury has evolved into a dynamic and diverse regional capital that functions as the service hub for all of northeastern Ontario. While mining remains a major influence on the local economy, the City has diversified significantly in recent years to establish itself as a major centre of financial and business services, tourism, health care and research, education and government.

The Greater |Grand Sudbury Branch members invite you to join us in our efforts to bring knowledge, expertise and professionalism in the world of an office administrative assistant. The wide variety of Northern enterprises, Colleges and Universities play a vital role in our community and in establishing the importance of office administration. Our branch offers a bilingual friendship to everyone that wishes to join us. Guests are always welcome to our meetings.

Watch for details on our 2011-2012 upcoming workshops.

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.
