Administrative Professionals’ Day recognizes the work of secretaries, administrative assistants, executive assistants, personal assistants, receptionists, client services representatives, and other administrative support professionals. Administrative Professionals Day began as National Secretaries Week which was first observed June 1st -7th, 1952, with June 4th being National Secretaries Day. The name was officially changed to Administrative Professionals Day in 2000 to encompass the expanding responsibilities and wide range of job titles of administrative staff.
