If you work in an office, you know that things wouldn’t get done right and on time if it weren’t for the Administrative Professionals. This is why there’s a day to value and celebrate all the work that they put in.

Administrative Professionals Day 2016 falls on April 22, and it recognizes the work of secretaries, administrative assistants, receptionists and other administrative support professionals. The celebrations usually last a whole week.

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.

National Secretaries Week (now Administrative Professionals Week) has two objectives in mind: to recognize “the secretary, upon whose skills, loyalty and efficiency the functions of business and government offices depend” and to call attention “through favorable publicity, to the tremendous potential of the secretarial career.”
