About Us

Our chapter services the Inland Empire and Riverside county area.  We are the 2^nd oldest IAAP chapter in California.  Our chapter meetings are usually held on the 3^rd Tuesday of each month. While the location varies based on the diverse work locations of our members, we strive to make sure that each meeting offers you an opportunity to contribute to what the chapter is doing and to grow personally and/or professionally by presenting a program at each meeting.  In the past 2 years we have had such programs as how to deal with difficult people, how to stay healthy during the holidays, how to increase our memory, how to be an inner circle assistant, and how to do basic self defense.   We do occasionally take a break and just have a social gathering so that we can get to know each other better.  
 

What ever the venue and/or agenda, I want you to know that we are committed to enhancing your knowledge, inspiring you to excellence, and equipping you for the “Office of the Future^©.^”
