AGA = Association of Governmental Accountants

What’s the difference between professional organizations and civic organizations?

A ‘civic organization’ is usually a city organization, but can refer to any government organization (including state, county, and federal). Though they are professional organizations, ‘professional organizations’ mainly refer to private, service-oriented organizations such as law offices and insurance companies. Hope that helped ————

We have a woman who has been with our organization for a year and has done a wonderful job for us. We want to pool our resources (about 5 of us) and get her something to show our appreciation of her efforts. She will be getting married this summer so in lieu of something "homey" I wish to keep it along professional lines and certainly something functional. Any suggestions?
Her "office" ranges from cubicle to backwoods and high peaks.

How about a gift certificate to a day spa :: massage, facial etc!

You should look in your book to help you answer a homework question.

I actually need to find an organization.

There are many books and articles.
You can Google "Orginizational Skills".

My first suggestion is a "Tickler File".
This is a 30 day file, with folders for each date of the month, 1-31.
Every task that has to be done should go into the date file when it must be completed.
Check the current file each morning. If a task cannot be done that day, place it in the next day.

For any current day, you should have a list of tasks that must be done.
You may have 1 or more that must be completed "immediatley" or by noon.
Others may have to be done before the day is over.
Sort those into priorities.
If some are not done, they go into the next day tickler file.

You will find that during any day, there are "fires to put out".
Emergencies that will interfere with those tasks.
You have to "hump" it during those times.

When you are asked to do something, always ask , "When is it due"? You’ll know what to do with it. See above paragraph.

Always take notes when you are asked to do a task. Place those notes in the proper date file.

Awww, the cat’s gone all sour

I had a good job and hoped it would never come down to this… I just got layed off and need to file for EI… This is one of the questions they ask in th applictaion.. I’m still young, this is my first time and dont ezxactly know what this means.. Any advice?
Should say what does it mean to be a member of a union or a professional organization? I work for a local small buisiness…

Typically youll be formally signed up and have to fill out paper work. Additionally, youll have to pay union dues and fees in order to recieve benefits. So i’m assuming youre not part of a union.

Just put N/A or something along the lines.
