In 2014 we rolled out a scholarship program for the Annual Conference for Administrative Excellence. We’ve never offered a scholarship for our administrative conference in its history – now hosting our 23rd year.
We were thrilled with the quality of applications received and that the scholarship winners continued their relationship with Office Dynamics International after their experience with our event. We planned to continue to offer the program. Our 2015 event sold out before we could even launch our scholarship program!
We approached the scholarship program a little earlier this year and received twice as many applications than we did in our first year. Again, we were impressed with the quality of many of the applications that we received. It was a hard selection process but after each of our team members rated the applications and came together to add up the scores three winners quickly rose to the top.
We offered three scholarships for the Annual Conference for Administrative Excellence.
One full scholarship (event registration only) and two partial scholarships at $1,000 each (full registration is $1,495).
We thank everyone who took the time to fill out the application, work with their leader for a letter to submit with their application and submit their applications to our office. We encourage you to apply again in the coming years as we would love to have each one of you at our Conference for Administrative Excellence and share in that special experience with you.
Our 2016 Administrative Conference Scholarship winners are:
- Full Scholarship – Tara Browne, Baystate Health
- Partial Scholarship of $1,000 – Ada Cillis, Littleton Elementary School District #65
- Partial Scholarship of $1,000 – Mandy Rae Dareing, Zeeco, Inc.

Thank you all so much for your congratulations and support. I have been eager to attend this conference since 2014, when I first read the Office Dynamics white paper, “The Administrative Professional: A Vital Yet Overlooked Contributor” (see link below). I was in the middle of a job search at the time, and had just framed the first draft of my own philosophy of administrative support as part of creating my personal branding materials, so the content of the white paper really hit home.
When I read about the scholarship, I knew that the competition would be intense, and that it would be incumbent upon anyone gifted with such an opportunity to share the wealth in turn. Since mentoring and helping others to recognize their potential is core to my personal mission in life, I am incredibly grateful to have been given this opportunity to learn and pass it on.
I am so excited to meet those of you who will be there (here’s looking you, Becke and Mandy!), and to join in this discussion of revolutionizing our amazing profession!

Thank you, everyone, and most especially Office Dynamics!
I am over the moon about this opportunity and feel so fortunate to have been awarded a partial scholarship. After the conference, I plan to return to my workplace and share all that I’ve learned with my administrative colleagues. Our greatest challenge as professionals is assisting our company’s leadership and project engineers in navigating the minefield of “doing more with less.” The Revolutionary Assistant Conference scholarship is a blessing not only to me as a professional, but also to our company’s support staff. I really cannot give Office Dynamics enough thanks for this!
See you in October! 🙂
