Administrative Professionals Day (4/25/12) is around the corner and there has never been a more important time to thank those who help you do your job more effectively. That includes everyone from the receptionist at the front desk to your secretary or personal assistant. Giving gifts to more than one person is very common. You definitely will give a gift to your assistant, but you may decide it also makes sense to give one to your boss' assistant who answers your phone sometimes. The good thing about this holiday is it is not important how much you spend, but more that you thought of this person and acknowledged them. There are so many ways to say thank you.

National Professional Secretaries Week and National Secretary's Day was created in 1952 through the work of Harry F. Klemfuss of Young and Rubicam. Klemfuss recognized the importance and value of the position to a company or business. His goal was to encourage more women to become secretaries. Using his skill and experience in public relations, Klemfuss, promoted the values and importance of the job of secretaries. In doing so, he also created the holiday in recognition of the importance of secretaries.
Today, the title is changing and evolving. But, the recognition is equally important. There are two new terms in use today. They are "Administrative Professionals" and "Executive Admins". The two names sometimes mean different roles and responsibilities to different companies. Both are broader terms, that encompass more positions than the original "Secretary" role.
The name change recognizes and acknowledges that the role has changed significantly since 1952, and for the better at that. And in Harry Klemfuss' day, these postions were the realm of women. Today, you find some males in these positions.
The most common ways of recognizing your Administrative Professional(s) today are:
- Flowers
- Cards, often with shopping gift certificates
- Take them to lunch
- Candies
- Assorted Gift Baskets
