Administrative Professionals Day, also known as secretaries day, is a day that is celebrated on the Wednesday in the last week of April. Not surprisingly, the last week of April is known as Administrative Professionals Week. The purpose of this holiday is to recognize the contributions of secretaries and administrative assistants everywhere.
The jobs of secretaries and administrative assistants have been evolving over the past few years, but they’re still extremely important to the proper functioning of an office. These professionals work extremely hard to keep their respective offices running like a well-oiled machine, so it’s probably a good idea to pay them the respect and appreciation that they deserve.
Secretary Day was first created by Mary Barrett—the president of the National Secretaries Association. She invented the holiday sometime during the late 1940s and early 1950s. In 1952, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer declared the first week of June to be Secretaries Week, and the Wednesday in that week to be Secretaries Day. In 1955, Secretaries Week was then changed to the last week of April, and Secretaries Day followed along with it.
In 1981, the holiday would become known as Professional Secretaries day. It would be another 19-years before Professional Secretaries Day would become Administrative Professionals Day in 2001. This allowed the holiday to not only be used for secretaries but also incorporated a myriad of other professional and administrative assistants into the mix as well.
During our research, we’ve come across several fascinating facts about administrative professionals and secretaries. Facts that we just can’t resist to everyone reading about Administrative Professionals Day. So let’s not waste any more time and jump right into these facts below.
Although admin professionals and secretaries are usually grouped into the same category, their roles and responsibilities are different—although there is some overlap between the two careers.
To illustrate this point we decided to list some of the most common tasks for each profession. Please be advised that the duties of both of these careers might shift from one workplace to another, so the following lists might not be accurate for all workplaces.
Common Tasks Of Administrative Assistants
Administrative Professionals Day is one of the most popular workplace observances in the entire world, and that really shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. After all, just in the U.S alone, there are over 3.6-million administrative professionals, plus an additional 9.5-million support staff. Of course,m that’s according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and not surprisingly, they have lumped administrative professionals and secretaries into the same labor statistics.
Just as the heading of this section states, secretaries are more popular than most people think. And this is evidenced by the number of important secretaries that have popped up in popular fiction over the years. Take James Bond, for example.
Who is the second most popular character in that movie series? Why, it’s Miss Moneypenny—a character that’s been in every single James Bond movie and has been played by actresses that include Samantha Bond, Naomie Harris, and Dame Judi Dench.
Other famous secretaries that can be found in popular media include:
One of the things that some people might not realize is that candidates to become a Certified Administrative Professional must take a test or exam to do so. In the early 1950s, there were only about 280+ candidates that took exams at one of the 15 exam centers. Nowadays, there are more than 250+ exam centers and thousands of candidates take the test regularly.
A survey done among members of the International Association of Administrative Professionals (also known as IAAP) has said that if someone wants to honor their work and work ethic, then they should do so by giving them opportunities to learn and eventually earn more.
While flowers, cards, and thank-yous are nice, most of the professionals would simply like an opportunity to advance themselves. This can be done by giving administrative assistants and secretaries access to educational workshops, tuition assistance, chapter events, and memberships in professional organizations.
Over the years, there have been a ton of different names used for administrative professionals. Some of these names include secretaries, receptionists, office clerks, staff assistants, executive assistants.
Observing this holiday is as easy as showing an administrative professional and/or secretary the appreciation that they deserve. This can come in the form of giving your employee the day off or giving them a card, gift certificate, or gift basket. It’s also a good day to give those hard-working administrative assistants and professionals a much-deserved raise, especially if they haven’t received one in a while.
While you’re thanking the administrative professionals and secretaries in your own office, you can then use social media to give a shout-out to all of the ones that you don’t know. You can do that by using the hashtag #AdministrativeProfessionalsDay or simply #AdminProfessionalDay on your social media accounts.

Administrative Professionals Day® highlights the important role of administrative professionals in all sectors of the modern economy worldwide. It is on the Wednesday of Administrative Professionals Week®, which is on the last full week of April.
Administrative Professionals Day is not a public holiday. Businesses have normal opening hours.
Administrative Professionals Day celebrates the role of administrative professionals worldwide.
Administrative Professionals Day and Administrative Professionals Week are widely observed in many workplaces in the United States and other countries around the world. Many employers and supervisors arrange events to show their appreciation of the work carried out by administrative professionals, to highlight their importance to the organization and to enhance their work-related skills.
Administrative Professionals Day is an observance but it is not a public holiday in the United States.
During World War II, there was an increased need for skilled administrative personnel, particularly in the United States. The National Secretaries Association was formed to recognize the contributions of secretaries and other administrative personnel to the economy, to support their personal development and to help attract people to administrative careers in the field. The association's name was changed to Professional Secretaries International in 1981 and, finally, the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) in 1998.
These changes in name reflected the changing nature of the tasks, qualifications and responsibilities of the members of the organization. IAAP now has an international orientation and continues to provide education and training and set standards of excellence recognized by the business community on a global perspective. The organization's vision is "to inspire and equip all administrative professionals to attain excellence".
The first National Secretaries Week was organized in 1952 in conjunction with the United States Department of Commerce and various office supply and equipment manufacturers. The Wednesday of that week became known as National Secretaries Day. As the organization gained international recognition, the events became known as Professional Secretaries Week® and Professional Secretaries Day®. In 2000, IAAP announced that names of the week and the day were changed to Administrative Professionals Week and Administrative Professionals Day to keep pace with changing job titles and expanding responsibilities of the modern administrative workforce. Many work environments across the world observe this event.
