I worked in the government for 30 years and I learned early on in my career, that the acronym EA meant Executive Assistant, and those people were very important in terms of getting a leader’s attention. In my experience — the EA was a “right-hand-man/woman.” He/she is based at the executive’s office and is the gatekeeper who makes the impossible possible. By staying a step ahead and handling the details, he/she enables her boss to focus on the bigger picture. He/she’s an extraordinary liaison who is diligent and discreet, always working with a sense of urgency.
Getting the idea? An EA for a rodeo athlete or professional rodeo is much more than clerical help. They’re more like an extension of the athelete or committee who does things that the those people don’t have time for. The EA also works with an “ear to the ground”, so she represents the employees or customers, or in the case of a rodeo athlete – a fan or the audience, so the athlete/committee does not lose touch with what’s really happening!
