Formerly called Professional Secretaries Week, Administrative Professionals Week (April 20-26, 2008) is a tradition of honoring administrative professionals during the last full week of April.
Professional Secretaries Week was started in an effort to recognize secretaries for their contributions to the workplace, and to attract young people to secretarial careers. The idea began with Mary Barrett, president of the then National Secretaries Association (now International Association of Administrative Professionals), along with public relations consultant Harry Klemfuss. The first National Secretaries Week June 1 through June 7, 1952, with Wednesday, June 4, as Secretaries Day. The date was changed in 1955 to the last full week in April.
Over the years, Administrative Professionals Week has become one of the largest workplace observances.
