Administrative Professionals Day Takes Place Wednesday

Administrative Professionals Day, formerly known as Secretary's Day, will take place Wednesday, April 23. Administrative Professionals Day is observed on the Wednesday of the last full week of April.

Administrative Professionals Day is an unofficial holiday to celebrate the administrative assistants, receptionists, secretaries and other administrative professionals in every office in the United States.

With a job that often times gets overlooked, Administrative Professionals Day commemorates the hard work of these individuals, putting their diligence to the forefront.

National Secretaries Week was created in 1952 through the work of Harry F. Klemfuss of Young & Rubicam, in conjunction with the National Secretaries Association, now known as the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP).

The first Secretaries' Day was held in 1952 by the National Secretaries Association (now the IAAP). National Secretaries Week was held between June 1-7, with Wednesday, June 4, designated as National Secretaries Day.

The name was changed to Professional Secretaries Week in 1981, and became Administrative Professionals Week in 2000.
