How it started
The community for Adelaide's EA's, PA's and administrative professionals.

Adelaide EA Connect started with a simple idea: the people who hold organisations together deserve a community that holds them in return. Co-founded in 2023 by Mel Rothe-Cox, Kathryn Emmett and Trudy Robb, three Adelaide-based EAs. This initiative addressed a gap for Adelaide based Administrative Professionals to connect. Originally called AEAIN, Adelaide Executive Assistant Influencer Network, after 3 years we thought a refresh, rename and rebrand was a great idea.
Â
Adelaide EA Connect is a not for profit, non-funded networking group with our purpose to connect talented administrative professionals to Connect, Collaborate, Influence and Elevate. We love bringing people together to foster a warm, inclusive community where genuine relationships thrive.
​
We believe in the power of collaboration. AEAC provides a platform for Executive Assistants, Personal Assistants, Office Managers, and other administrative professionals to connect, network over coffee or lunch, attend events as well as explore various venues around Adelaide.
Â
Individuals aspiring to become EAs or those interested in the administrative profession are warmly invited to join the group and benefit from shared experiences and opportunities.
​
Join us as we continue to grow, connect, and empower Adelaide’s vibrant administrative community!
