File Attachment:
Summary: District Administration has advocated for more professional development opportunities for our Classified and Confidential staff. As part of the this support, Cabinet has maintained that participation and membership within the two organizations that support the office professional, Riverside County Association of Educational Office Professionals (RCAEOP) and the California Association of Educational Office Professionals (CAEOP), are opportunities for professional growth and development.

Many of our clerical leaders have also taken on responsibilities and roles in the two organizations (RCAEOP and CAEOP). Currently the roles on the CAEOP state board are held by Beth Heyden, Treasurer and Sarah Rico, Recording Secretary.

Attending the National Association of Educational Office Professionals (NAEOP) annual conference will provide opportunities to participate in a number of workshops, institutes and briefings, as well as representing the State of California at the Advisory Council and the Southwest Area Business Meeting. It will also allow them to network and learn from other state AEOP officers to better understand the policies and procedures that are required for their similar state positions. They will also bring back a wealth of information to share with District secretaries and the local affiliate members. The desired outcome after attending is to share as much of what was learned with the other District secretaries at their quartly meetings.

NAEOP also offers a nationally recognized certificate program, the National Professional Standards Program (PSP), and the option of attaining the distrinction as a Certified Educational Office Employee (CEOE). The PSP and CEOE achievements are recognized and awarded only through the National Association of Educational Office Professionals. Beth Heyden has attained both the PSP and CEOE distinction and Sarah Rico is currently pursing her certifications.

Mrs. Heyden and Mrs. Rico truly appreciate the support and investment that District Administration has placed in them and other office professionals within the District.
