Every year, the last full week of April is set aside as Administrative Professionals Week. This year, the week starts on April 18 and runs through April 24. Millions of people worldwide honor their administrative professionals during this week, especially on April 21, Administrative Professionals Day.
Administrative Professionals Week originally began as National Secretaries Week in 1952. It was created by Harry F. Klemfuss, a publicist in New York. He wanted to encourage more people to enter the administrative professional field. Originally, the week was celebrated the first week of June, but in 1955, National Secretaries Week was moved to the last full week of April. In 1981, it was officially renamed Administrative Professionals Week so that all administrative support staff were included.
Today, many people celebrate Administrative Professionals Week by giving their administrative assistants flowers, vacation time, or by taking them out to lunch. While these hard-working professionals should be thanked on a regular basis due to all the work they do year-round, it is especially important to remember to honor them during this week.
