In recognition of the contributions made by administrative professionals, American Management Association is soliciting applications for the 8th Annual Innovation Award for Administrative Professionals. The application deadline is August 18, 2006.
This award was created in 1999 to celebrate outstanding examples of creative problem solving and innovation in office support.

To be eligible for the award, the innovation must have been developed and implemented by administrative professionals and must provide tangible, sustainable and replicable examples of excellence that can assist others facing similar work and productivity issues. The innovation also must have been implemented for at least six months prior to the application deadline.

One representative from the winning entry will be honored at an award ceremony during the 14th Annual Administrative Professionals Conference in Orlando, FL, October 15–18, 2006.
