Today Is Administrative Professionals Day!

Let us all give a cheer for the backbone of America!

Today is Administrative Professionals Day, where we honor the men and women who support us, and keep everything running behind the scenes in Ankeny.

Administrative Professionals Day/Week was originally organized in 1952 as "National Secretaries Week" by the National Secretaries Association,  according to the International Association of Administrative Professionals. It was established as an effort to recognize secretaries for their contributions in the workplace, and to attract people to secretarial/administrative careers.

IAAP defines administrative professionals as “individuals who are responsible for administrative tasks and coordination of information in support of an office-related environment and who are dedicated to furthering their personal and professional growth in their chosen profession.”
