About Us

The Skyway Chapter officially chartered on May 9, 2006.

The Skyway Chapter was established to capitalize on the convenience that the Downtown Minneapolis skyway system provides for meeting and networking with Administrative Professionals (AP).

We meet every other month from 11:30AM - 1PM at various downtown Minneapolis locations.  Between meetings, you can catch up with colleagues and learn new skills at our networking gatherings.

Our Purpose

- Bring educational and professional development opportunities to APs in downtown Minneapolis.

- Establish a social network structure among APs in downtown Minneapolis.

- Create a stronger IAAP identity in downtown Minneapolis.

- Generate corporate support through sponsorship and sharing resources within the downtown business community.

The International Association of Administrative Professionals is a not-for-profit professional association for office professionals with approximately 40,000 members and affiliates and nearly 600 chapters worldwide. Our mission is to enhance the success of career-minded administrative professionals by providing opportunities for growth through education, community building and leadership development. The association founded in 1942 as the National Secretaries Association to provide a professional network and educational resources for secretarial staff. The association's name was changed in 1998 to the International Association of Administrative Professionals to encompass the large number of varied administrative job titles and recognize the advancing role of administrative support staff in business and government.
