The May edition of DEDICATED - The Legal Secretary Journal has been published and is now available to read online. 

In this month's edition of our journal, we are taking the opportunity to reflect on the past year. ILSPA believes that it is important to focus on positives. So, in the interest of inspiring and uplifting our Students and Members, we want to share some unexpected positives that have been happening in the profession over the past 12 months.      
 
To help you remain in a positive frame of mind, we would also like to tell you about some interesting events that are happening soon. Executive Support (previously Executive Secretary) is holding a highly anticipated online tech event. ES Tech will feature two days of intensive training, workshops, keynotes, product focuses, case studies and networking opportunities guaranteed to upskill budding or experienced Legal Secretaries. Follow the link in their article to book your ticket. 

May welcomes Mental Health Awareness Week, which falls on 10-16th of the month. This year’s theme is “nature”. Nature holds many restorative and healthy properties and is proven to reduce stress and anxiety. We have compiled a few simple things that you can incorporate into your day to help you with your well-being. Look out for more updates and tips throughout Mental Health Awareness Week in ILSPA’s blog and on our social media channels.

Finally, we are very happy to announce the launch of SecsintheCity's 10th PA of the Year Awards. The awards are an annual celebration of the essential support provided by PAs and EAs to the businesses and individuals they work for. If you know a Legal PA who deserves to be recognised, nominate him or her today.
