- Biographical / historical:
The Association of Educational Secretaries & Office Personnel (AESOP) at Broward College was founded to support professional development and collegiality among office personnel and educational secretaries. AESOP provided venues for skill development, networking, certification opportunities, and community service, frequently collaborating with the Florida Association of Educational Office Personnel (FAEOP) and the National Association of Educational Office Professionals (NAEOP). The organization conducted annual and regional conferences, created opportunities for institutional recognition, and contributed to improved operational standards within Broward College during the late 20th century. AESOP was proactive in advocacy, scholarship fundraising, professional standards, and local civic engagement, and its records reflect the importance of support staff in higher education operations and culture.
