As an administrativeprofessional, you need to be productive and organized wherever you go. TimeZone Converter Apps: Timezones can be tricky, especially if you or your executive is working virtually from another state or country. I use the TimeZone Converter by TimeAndDate. The solution?
Referencing the wrong timezone is something almost everyone does. For most people, using the wrong timezone or misunderstanding Daylight Saving Time (DST) just results in running an hour early or late. Do you know that Hawaii and most of Arizona doesn’t observe Daylight Saving Time?
On that note, It is hard to believe we are getting close to AdministrativeProfessionals Day which is on April 22 nd. That is a good time to recognize assistants for all that they do. I hope all of your professionals appreciate what a privilege it is to have someone look after them. Another great article Patricia.

Do you ever get a meeting request and an agenda has not been provided, or if it is a teleconference the call-in details have not been given or the boardroom hasnt been booked for an internal meeting? When booking meetings ownership of the meeting has to be established. Is the boardroom booked? Whose responsibility is it anyway?
The main thing is to get it out of your Inbox until you have time to deal with it.
