THE former personal assistant to Nelson Mandela, Zelda la Grange, will be among the guest speakers at a conference for executive and personal assistants taking place at The Brehon in Killarney on Friday, November 25.

Aimed at executive assistants, personal assistants, office managers, administrators and anybody working in a support role, it provides an excellent learning and networking opportunity.

This event creates a platform for assistants from various organisational backgrounds to come together and discuss the peaks and challenges they face, with a significant emphasis placed on networking and learning from each other,” said Fiona Kelly, Managing Director of Zoom In.
