The role of the academic secretary is very complex.  As universities evolve and the needs of faculty and students change, so do the responsibilities of an academic secretary.  The purpose of this conference is to network and develop relationships with fellow GLCA-school secretaries and provide and opportunity to gain a better understanding of a role that is constantly undergoing metamorphosis.  This conference will provide an opportunity to get motivated, network, develop friendships, and discuss issues that affect our lives.  For more information click here.
