The purpose of the Illinois Association of Educational Office Professionals is to promote the advancement of education by improving the quality of service by educational office personnel. The association continues to work toward increased recognition for educational office professionals as partners on the educational team. |
Mission Statement |
| Our association believes that an education is the birthright of every citizen, and we pledge ourselves to the preservation of that right. To demonstrate our commitment to this belief, we provide scholarships, professional growth opportunities, and community service. We believe exposure to other cultures heightens our awareness of different perspectives and helps us as individuals to develop greater understanding of all mankind. |
History of IAEOP |
| The Illinois Association of Educational Office Professionals was organized as the “Illinois Association of School Secretaries” by 17 school secretaries who met in the Illinois Education Building in Springfield, Illinois, on December 17, 1940. A constitution was adopted, officers were elected and plans for future meetings were discussed. The first state meeting was held in Chicago in the Spring of 1941, and meetings have been held on a regular basis since then. The membership elected in 1980 to change the association’s name to “The Illinois Association of Educational Office Personnel” and in 1996, to “The Illinois Association of Educational Office Professionals.” Throughout the years and even today, we have aspired for and achieved the development of our professional and personal skills. We follow the four points of IAEOP (Service, Information, Recognition, and Fellowship) and see them in action at each of our conferences. |
