Seraphic Society - a secret club just for assistants…

Submitted by Stephanie on August 31, 2009 at 03:45 PM

Jennifer Reingold, a writer for Fortune Magazine, recently wrote an article about the Seraphic Society (.pdf); a secretive club of assistants to high profile CEO’s… and membership is by invitation only.

The article is an interesting read that gets to the heart of the working relationship between a high profile CEO and their assistant. Like the CEO, the CEO’s assistant position can be just as lonely since you’re privy to the confidential information and company “goings-on” well in advance of the other assistants and employees as a whole.

As the top assistant at our firm, I experience this first hand. Having this information and keeping it confidential is one of the most important aspects of the position.

The article also chronicles the Seraphic Society; how and where it started and where it stands today. Although this is a “members-only-by-invitation” club with strict membership requirements, you could find a similar support system locally or by joining ProAssisting with our member only forum. The goal being to create enough connections where you know you can get the support, advice and answers to your questions from trusted sources in a timely fashion.

With the advent of social media, these types of interactions are going to be more commonplace and easier to maintain as technology further expands in our lives. Enjoy the article, it’s worth the read. Photo Credit: Aleera
