Title
Proclamation on National Administrative Professionals’ Day April 24, 2024
Body
DEPARTMENT: Police
PRESENTERS: Lee Mathis, Police Chief
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
During World War ll there was a shortage of people with the skills of an administrative professional. In 1942, the National Secretaries Association was formed to recognize the contributions of administrative personnel to the economy, support their development, and attract workers to the field. In 1955, Secretaries Week was moved to the last full week of April, with Wednesday marked as Administrative Professionals Day. In 1981, the name was changed to Professional Secretaries Week but, in the year 2000, it became Administrative Professionals’ Week.
While the day has undergone many title changes, the initial goal to celebrate and recognize the hard work administrative professionals do has remained.
