of the contributions made by administrative professionals,
American Management Association (AMA) is soliciting applications
for its 2004 Innovation Award for Administrative Professionals.
The application deadline is Friday, August 20, 2004.
This award was created in 1999 to celebrate outstanding
examples of creative problem solving and innovation in office

efforts of office professionals, working individually or
in teams, and encourages others to seek opportunities to
demonstrate the contributions they can make to their organizations.
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.
Entries will be judged on the basis of documented positive
results related to at least one of the following: cost savings,
efficiency, productivity, problem solving, problem prevention,
employee morale, accuracy and integrity of operations, customer
satisfaction, organizational effectiveness and organizational
communication.
One representative from the winning entry will be honored
at an award ceremony during the 12th Annual Administrative
Professionals Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, October 17–20,
2004. As a conference guest, all registration fees, hotel
and travel expenses will be paid for by AMA. Winning team
members also will receive a personalized plaque recognizing
their innovation.
