Office Support Services Association

Events Calendar

Throughout the year, OSSA offers regular meetings and other member events. Meetings are held from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm on the second Wednesday of each month from September through June.

We make every effort to hold meetings that are both informative and enjoyable, often including outside speakers selected to provide the group with useful knowledge. Participation is always welcome, and our members thrive in our informal but dynamic environment.

February 13, 2008	Bellevue Library	Focused Roundtable: Sheryl Spangler, the Growth Coach, facilitated a thought provoking session in January. Join us as we carry her questions forward in February. We will be discussing questions like: Am I a leader or a doer?, If I could change one thing about my work/life what would it be and why? What are the areas of my expertise? What am I good at? What do I like to do? What do OTHERS think I'm good at? And what are things I either don't like to do or don't do well? Please join us as we ponder these questions. It should be a lively discussion.
