BACKGROUND: |
Office managers as a whole have never
been represented by an organization. This means that office
managers have had little or no resource for help or guidance with their
many duties. They have had no path for professional development
and they have had little possibility of professional recognition.
Because office manager duties differ little from business to
business, APOM provides a single organization to address their needs.
