The focus of the 2023 Empowered Administrators Conference (EAC) is to build agile office administrators who rise to challenges and can strike a balance in their work, home, and life in general. An agile office administrator has a positive outlook on life and has a set of goals to achieve within a set timeframe and upholds the values of the organisation. Organisational values are usually generic and even if not articulated, there are values that are given for any office professional. The 2023 EAC Awards are anchored on the values of Mangosuthu University of Technology, which are: Integrity, Respect, Accountability, and Excellence. Closing date for entries is 15 September 2023.
