"Accept the Challenge of Growth"
The Idaho Association of Educational Office Professionals (IAEOP) is a professional association for office professionals in educational systems and organizations in Idaho.
IAEOP is an affiliate of the National Association of Educational Office Professionals (NAEOP). Formation of local associations is encouraged to assist in: professional growth, closer personal relations, and social activities. IAEOP was conceived when two members of the Idaho Department of Education Association of Secretaries (IDEAS) attended an NAEOP Conference in Portland, Oregon. An organizational meeting was held in October 1972, a constitution adopted, and officers elected. The organization has grown and developed into a meaningful group for professional growth of educational office professionals in Idaho. IAEOP is financed by the assessment of registration fees at the annual conference, by annual membership dues, and by ways and means projects. As educational office employees, we affirm our belief that an education is the birthright of every person and pledge ourselves to the preservation of that right. We recognize the special province of the professional educator and the significance of the responsibilities assumed by the educator. We also recognize the unique role of educational office professionals and the importance of the contributions made in such a position. |
