SUBJECT: Evaluation of PSI Seminar in Salt Lake City
After attending the Professional Secretaries International Convention in Salt Lake City, July 20-25, I recommend that at least one support staff member have the opportunity to attend each year. The information distributed at the convention is extremely valuable and will be beneficial to all support staff at Western Bank. This was the third time I have attended a PSI convention, but it was the first time my attendance has been subsidized by Western Bank.
The sessions ranged from technical to practical to personal. Even with the variety of the sessions, nearly all workshops discussed expanding and enhancing the contribution of secretaries in the workplace. The sessions I attended were as follows:
1. Office Automation in the 21st century
2. Anatomy of a Merger
3. How to Get Your Article Published in The Secretary
4. Secretarial Stress: The Hidden and Controlling Factor
Over 50 companies exhibited the latest in office technology, demonstrating everything from fax machines to filing systems. The convention was truly outstanding, and I consider it an essential part of my professional development. I will be sharing what I learned with the other office professionals at Western Bank at our monthly meeting later this month.
Sincerely,
Judith Wilson

Dear Judith,
Thank you so much for your feedback on the PSI Seminar. It is gratifying to know that it was money well spent. I have forwarded a copy of your email to Eric Richards, who is in charge of funding professional development, and I have written my own proposal suggesting that we send three members of support staff each year. Please do share what you learned with our other office members, and if you have time, I'd love to discuss the conference with you some time next week.
Regards,
Marsha Dillard
