Need Administrative Professionals Day Info or Gift Ideas? Look no further...Administrative Professionals Day (also executive assistants day, formerly secretaries day) is most often celebrated on a Wednesday during the last full week of April every year. Administrative Professionals Day was first observed in 1952 thanks to the International Association of Administrative Professionals (which used to be called National Secretaries Association) and a group of office product manufacturers working with them at that time. The idea for a secretaries day or week was their campaign to find a solution to a skilled office worker shortage. And today it's right at the top of the list of things to celebrate at work, ranking right up there with employee birthdays and major holidays. As with many professions in today's workforce the name has changed to better reflect how diverse the position of an Administrative Assistant or office professional can be.
