TRAVO is an incredible travel planning tool in development for administrative professionals. TRAVO was one of key sponsors at the 2016 Annual Conference for Administrative Excellence and we are so excited that Debbi Shaffer of Audacious Admin was able to sit down with TRAVO for a brief interview to talk about what they are doing.

It’s COOL to be an administrative professional because you travel to great places.
Often, assistants travel to attend their leader’s special team meeting; help with site visits in preparations for meetings; be involved in a major company event where you need to travel; attend corporate board meetings and more. During my 20 year career, I traveled to some places that were fun, interesting, exotic, and breathtaking.
In my early days, I worked at an association and planned the annual meetings and was able to do the site visits before the actual event. The association always selected high-end hotels. It was fun to be able to travel and not have to pay for it! Usually, I was given the best accommodations in the hotel because I was considered an event planner and they wanted to show off their best rooms. I also use to do food tastings to select special meals for top executives. Again, all the expense of my employer.
In one of my roles, my executive belonged to a very nice country club where we often held meetings with his direct reports. I was able to attend and participate in those meetings. When I look back, I was able to experience many beautiful places because of the executives I worked with or because of the organization in which I worked. This broadened my horizon. Have you had similar experiences?
Have you been able to go to any really COOL places because of who you work with?
