6. EFAM Review – Judith Yannarelli If we’re to become relevant to the profession and to our membership base, we can’t look the same as we do today. We must evolve. Our new vision is to be the premier network and resource for the administrative profession. Our Core purpose is to ensure individuals working in office and administrative professions have the opportunity to connect, learn, lead and excel. “The associations that have relevance in the future will be those that tackle the tough questions and decisions today —leading to radical change tomorrow. They need courageous and creative risk-takers, leading the race in order to prosper. The rewards are worth it. Hard work [and decisions] now will ensure [our] organization is posed for the future and will thrive—not just survive.” ~~ Harrison Coerver and Mary Byers, CAE

Transform the box “There’s a problem with ‘thinking outside the box’,” says Business Strategist Daniel Burrus, “We all know that no matter how creative we get during the weekend seminar, come Monday morning we’re going to have to crawl back into the box again and deal with our current reality. The problem isn’t that we need new ways to simply step outside the box — we need to completely transform the box itself.”
