Pathways to Excellence
The IAAP Pathways to Excellence Recognition Program is designed to raise your value as a career-minded administrative professional by becoming a Member of Excellence, a Chapter of Excellence or a Division of Excellence. The program has a set of guiding principles; learn more under the "Principles" tab. You can learn more about these distinctions under their individual tabs, or you can consult our Pathways to Excellence FAQ for more information.
A Member of Excellence will receive a certificate (first four years), Pathways to Excellence certificate cover, and Member of Excellence pin (the fifth year).
A Member of Excellence will attain a minimum of 8 of the following 11 criteria:
- Be a current CPS and/or CAP holder
- Sign the online Member of Excellence Commitment agreement
- Actively participate in the IAAP web community forum discussions or submit an article for an IAAP publication (chapter, division, or international level)
- Attend non-IAAP professional educational workshops, seminars and conferences

- Conduct a public presentation, program or training
- Attend a minimum of eight chapter, division or international sponsored meetings, programs or events (any combination)
