The Greater Reading Chamber Alliance has launched a new program that is geared for those holding positions as executive assistants.
The Executive Assistant Roundtable is an interactive event focused on “open conversations, collaborative brainstorming and a judgement-free environment,” the chamber said in a press release.
The new program is aimed at creating a confidential space for executive assistants to connect with their peers, share experiences and have honest conversations about the challenges they face behind the scenes.
According to the description of the program on the chamber’s website, participants in the roundtable will discuss issues, brainstorm solutions and exchange ideas and best practices and learn from each other’s experiences.
The first roundtable will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 9 from 8 to 9:30 a.m., at the Center for Business Excellence, 49 Commerce Drive, in Spring Township.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a challenge they’re navigating, a situation that has been successfully resolved or a topic for discussion by the group.
There is no formal presentation for the event, “this is a conversation among peers with the goal of leaving each other feeling more supported, more connected and better equipped to navigate the role,” the chamber said on its website.
