23rd ASA Congress

The Association of Secretaries and Administrative Professionals in Asia Pacific (ASA), formerly known as The Association of Secretaries in Asia (ASA), was formed in 1974 to provide an opportunity for secretaries in and around Asia to meet and share their knowledge and experience.

The main objectives of ASA are:

  • To gain recognition for the secretaries and administrative professionals, as a professional.
  • To promote friendship, understanding, unity and the exchange of ideas among secretaries and administrative professionals in Asia.
  • To encourage establishment of secretarial associations in Asian countries.
  • To encourage more countries to join ASA.


The formation of ASA had created a means for secretarial associations to communicate with each other for the betterment of the individual association and the profession.

The ASA Congress is held biennially and it is hosted by one of the member associations on a rotation basis according to seniority of their membership in ASA.

PAS hosted the 1st ASA Congress in 1974; 11th ASA Congress in 1994 and 23rd ASA Congress in 2016.
