GREETINGS! Welcome to the North Central Area web site. If you are new to NAEOP I encourage you to take time to browse our website. There is a wealth of information for the educational office professional to assist in your professional development, and your personal growth.

“Seeing the Best in You Emerge!” was selected as this year’s theme and the butterfly as the symbol, by President Allie Faye Matthews, CEOE. We as office professionals are always working at doing our best, being our best and striving to achieve our goals. Our challenge in the North Central area is to increase our membership and to encourage members to renew their memberships. We need to encourage new employees to join our organization and to be active in our state AEOP and NAEOP. Also, I challenge those of you who do not have your Professional Standards Program (PSP) Certificate and Certified Educational Office Employee (CEOE) distinction to work at achieving this as a goal. Louise Henderson Nelson, NAEOP founder, believed that every office professional should have the opportunity to grow and evolve. When we work hard at our goals we can break out of our cocoons and emerge as a beautiful butterfly soaring to new heights.

BENEFITS! The benefits that NAEOP has to offer are insurmountable, especially during these difficult times that face all of us. Explore the membership section at the website and see what these benefits can do for you.

MEMBERSHIP! When you join NAEOP and you reside and work in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and South Dakota you automatically become a member in the North Central Area. Be sure you take the time to review the whole NAEOP website and see the list of possibilities to continue our professional growth. I also want to encourage all educational office professionals to join this wonderful organization.

JOIN US: October 2, 2011 – October, 4, 2011 for the MAEOP Annual Fall Conference in Duluth, Minnesota. This is a great opportunity to meet our new President Allie Faye Matthews. For further information regarding the conference please go to the MAEOP website, http://maeopmn.org.

QUESTIONS! For more information about NAEOP or the North Central Area, please feel free to contact me – I would love to hear from you.
