The American Society of Administrative Professionals (ASAP) is the world-leading provider of training, community, and resources for administrative professionals. We are based in Portland, Maine, and were founded in 2005 to support admins navigating an ever-evolving business climate and developing the skills they need to advance their careers.
We exist to elevate administrative professionals and executive assistants from overlooked support roles to empowered leaders who are equipped, connected, and unstoppable.
Everything we offer is rooted in the understanding that admin roles are evolving fast, with our programs and support systems designed to grow with you so you’re always equipped for what’s next. That’s why we created the ASAP Career Stages Framework—to help you understand where you are today and what skills will take you forward. This philosophy drives the comprehensive training and resources we deliver.
We provide data-driven, role-specific training through our Professional Administrative Certification of Excellence (PACE) and our in-person training events, the Administrative Professionals Conference (APC) and EA Ignite. We also offer the largest library of blogs, time-saving tools, templates, and actionable resources.
ASAP is more than a professional network. It’s a rising movement where admins connect, share, support, and grow together. As a member you’ll find real connection—through peer conversations, mentorship, shared stories, and tailored learning experiences.
Join our growing community of 127,000+ admins equipped with the high-impact resources, career-shaping skills, and meaningful connections needed to excel at every level.
