Administrative Professionals Day® is April 22!


National Secretaries Week, as it was originally called, was created in 1952. The goal of the holiday was to encourage more people to consider careers in the secretarial/administrative support field.

The first official "National Secretaries Week" was held June 1-7 in 1952, with Wednesday, June 4, 1952 designated National Secretaries Day. The observance date of National Secretaries Week was moved to the last full week of April in 1955. The name was changed to Professional Secretaries Week in 1981, and became Administrative Professionals Week in 2000 to encompass the expanding responsibilities and wide-ranging job titles of administrative support staff.

In the years since its inception, Administrative Professionals Week has become one of the largest workplace celebrations. In the United States, the day is often celebrated by giving one's assistant such gifts as flowers, candy, trinkets, lunch at a restaurant, or time off.

April is a month full of gifts...


April is my favorite month! Next week I get to celebrate the birthdays of three of the most important people in my life; my father, my husband and my son. Jack's birthday is, not surprisingly, my very favorite day of the year - better even than Christmas! His birth was an amazing blessing after many years of failed attempts and detours. This year especially, his birthday is a beautiful reminder for me that gifts do not always come when expected or wrapped in pretty paper and tied with a bow.

With the tough times we have all been experiencing it is easy to take our gifts for granted. Take the time to look more closely for the gifts that surround us every day!
