Two assistants - Delegation of meetings

D

danielle

We have recently converted from Lotus Notes to MS Outlook. We have a group of approximately 100 staff, that is supported by two wonderful assistants. In Lotus Notes they were able to send out meeting requests, without having to schedule themselves into the meeting. We have found no similiar capability in MS Outlook. We are experimenting with the delgation feature, however we are concerned about sending all the meeting requests and responses to the assistant, since if they were out of the office --- no meetings would get processed. We are now considering setting a special 'Meeting Coordinator' email account that they could both access. They could then send out meeting requests (without cluttering up their own calendars, as well as be able to back up each other if people elected to delegate all calender management directly to this account.).

Does this sound viable? What are others experiences handling similiar situations?
