The actual Administrative Professionals Day is celebrated every year on the last Wednesday in April. Many offices celebrate this holiday by sending flowers or office plants to the admins in the office. Flowers and plants make great gifts because of the joy that they bring to people.
Administrative Professionals Day started way back in the 1950s. It was originally the first week in June. Thanks to the National Secretaries Association, secretaries were recognized for all of their hardwork during a booming economic upswing. The holiday was originally titled, Secretaries Week, however because of the growing responsibilities in the office and different job titles, it was decided to change the name to Administrative Professionals Week.
There are a few countries that celebrate this holiday including Canada, Australia, and Brazil.
