Administrative Professionals' Day (Also known as
Secretary's Day) is an unofficial
secular holiday observed in the
United States on the Wednesday of the last full week of April to recognize the work of
secretaries, administrative assistants,
receptionists, and other administrative support professionals. In 2010, it was on April 21, 2010. In 2011, the date is April 27, 2011
[edit] History
National Secretaries Week was created in 1952 through the efforts of Harry F. Klemfuss, a New York publicist.
[1] Working in conjunction with the National Secretaries Association, later known as the
International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP), Klemfuss wanted to encourage more people to consider careers in the secretarial/administrative support field.

The official period of celebration was first proclaimed by
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer as "National Secretaries Week," which was held June 1–7 in 1952, with Wednesday, June 4, 1952 designated National Secretaries Day. The first Secretaries' Day was sponsored by the
National Secretaries Association with the support corporate groups.
In 1955, the observance date of National Secretaries Week was moved to the last full week of April. 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.
[edit] Modern celebration
Over the years, Administrative Professionals Week has become one of the largest workplace observances. The event is celebrated worldwide through community events, social gatherings, and individual corporate activities recognizing support staff with gifts. In the
United States, the day is often celebrated by giving one's assistant gifts such as
flowers,
candy, trinkets,
lunch at a restaurant, or time off. The IAAP suggests that employers support the holiday by providing training opportunities for their administrative staff through
continuing education,
self-study materials, or
seminars.
