Last year, Celebrity Personal Assistants, Inc (CPAI) held Beyond the Red Carpet, a conference focused on Personal Assistants working with celebrities in sports and entertainment. Over 100 attendees came from across the country for this continuing education symposium. Presentations were made by working personal assistants serving music, sports and business leaders. These assistants shared insights and provided real-world experiences about their tenure as assistants to the stars.
“In an effort to further offer the best of the best to our luxury market, we decided to showcase Celebrity Personal Assistants, Inc (CPAI) this year,” states Mrs. Starkey.
This year Restoring the Art will not only be educational, we will be bringing to our service professionals a show case of new products, fascinating new experiences, and never before offered, “fabulous entertainment.”
2005’s keynote speaker is the creator of Franklin Planner, the most passionate, Mr. Hyram Smith.
“Mrs. Starkey, the First Lady of Service, has been a great mentor to our agency, commented Dionne Muhammad, CPAI’s President.” We are elated to include our Beyond the Red Carpet workshops as part of Starkey’s Restoring the Art Conference on April 14-17, 2005.
“We understand that Personal Assistants are simply a component of the larger industry of Household Management that Mrs. Starkey has championed for over 20 years.”
“It was fitting that we combine our annual conference with the Starkey conference. Personal Assistants will learn a tremendous amount at what will be the private service profession’s most comprehensive symposium to date,” Muhammad concluded.
