Abound 30 faculty attended the event, including administrative assistants, EMS coordinators, data compliance managers and those in an office setting who support the schools. The event included dinner, gifts from sponsors, speakers, and a chance to network with county educational professionals.
“We’re here to appreciate and honor all school administrative assistants,” Webb said. “We’re here to tell them how important they are, how much they do for the community and the schools and the public.”
A speaker was Clark-Shawnee Elementary School Principal Amanda Shaffer, and the keynote speaker was Leigh Anne Lawrence, executive director of Leadership Clark County. Sponsors included Trane Technologies, Friends Office and Leadership Clark County.
Shaffer said administrative assistants help “keep them in line” every day.
“They wear a cape, truly, every single day... They don’t stop, and quite frankly, they can’t because the school wouldn’t run without them,” she said.
Lawrence said it’s an honor and privilege to watch what administrative assistants do for the schools, which she said is “so impactful” for students.
Webb said the ESC hopes this event continues to grow.
“The Clark County ESC appreciates all our school administrative assistants, secretaries, and other school administrative professionals. We are happy to host this event and we want to continue to host this event and make it grow,” he said.
