April 27 is National Administrative Professionals’ Day! Although it’s not observed as a public holiday, this day deserves celebration. It even got its own episode on “The Office” and rightly so.
This holiday has a long history. During World War ll there was a shortage of people with the skills of an administrative professional. This was due to the birth-rate decline from the Depression-era and booming post-war business. In 1942, the National Secretaries Association was formed in order to recognize the contributions of administrative personnel to the economy, support their development, and attract workers to the field. During their first year as an association, they created National Administrative Professionals’ Day.
Can you imagine the attention to detail, flexibility, persistence, and patience it takes to manage the day-to-day activities of our leadership team? They do it seamlessly, consistently, and always with a smile. To say we’d be lost without them is the ultimate understatement.
Let’s all join in and recognize the amazing work of this incredible team!
