Administrative Professionals Day
Thursday, April 22, 2027
Recognize the contributions of administrative professionals — secretaries, receptionists, and office support staff.
Background
Administrative Professionals Day dates to 1952, when it began as 'National Secretaries Day' to recognize the essential work of office support staff. It's observed on the Wednesday of the last full week of April.
How to make the most of it
- Offer specific recognition for the work that keeps the office running.
- Cover a nice lunch or a small, thoughtful gift.
- Support a professional-development opportunity, not just a one-day thank-you.
