BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
During World War II, there was a shortage of people with administrative professional skills. 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 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.
