Lucy Brazier, founder of Executive Secretary Magazine, will be the speaker at the 2016 Administrative Professionals Event.

The event, which is being organized by the Administrative Professionals of Tri-Cities, will be 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 14 at the Pasco Red Lion.

Zeny Myers, vice president of APTC, said Brazier is a highly sought after speaker and trainer.

“She is one of the strongest and most influential leaders in the administrative professional industry and dedicated to the development needs of senior and aspiring administrative professionals,” said Myers.

Myers will talk about the differences between collaboration and teamwork and how to create an effective business community.

Myers said more than 300 attendees are expected at the event.

The event will provide attendees with valuable information and an opportunity to network with community peers, she added.

The Administrative Professionals of Tri-Cities, a nonprofit organization, was founded in late 2014 by three executive assistants seeking to create a networking community for administrative assistants in the Mid-Columbia.

It recognizes Administrative Professionals Week by offering the luncheon and training event each April.

The cost is $45 to pre-register or $50 at the door.
