History

EUMA Finland was founded at the end of 1974 and it was officially registered on 15 May 1975.

Today, EUMA Finland has more than 170 members representing executive assistants, mainly from the CEO level, at the big and medium-sized Finland-based companies, corporations and communities. The role of a management assistant is constantly changing, development in management processes and technologies to be utilized enables new responbility areas and challenges for management assistants as well.

Organisation

To support personal and professional development and the role of management assistants in the management processes and structures of employer organizations and to make good use of our excellent network, we organize approximately once a month professionally useful events, excursions and company visits and participate in the cultural events, too. Every other year we arrange a Pearl Seminar, which is open to members and non-members alike. As the Finnish society in private and public sector is widely represented by the members and their key roles, the contacts and "doors available for opening" through members are utilized in the activity.

Events and projects

The Finnish members participate actively in the international EUMA events twice a year.

Finland has hosted international conferences as follows:

  • 1978 – Espoo - The Secretary in the midst of National and International Contacts
  • 1988 – Turku - Going International - Managing the Change
  • 2001 – Helsinki - The Driving Forces of the 21st Century: Globalisation, Values, Technology
  • In 2010 EUMA Finland will host the Spring Council Meetings and Training Day in Helsinki.
