Does South Dakota Appreciate Their Administrative Professionals?

On the Wednesday of the last full week in April, anyone who works in the business world will make sure to have a fresh bouquet, a catered lunch, and a business-wide announcement letting all who work for you know just how much your Administrative Professionals mean to the company.

Administrative Professionals Day evolved from Secretaries Week to include the wide range of responsibilities and job titles of administrative staff in the modern economy.

No matter what department you work in for your company, there is always that one person unknown to you that makes a big difference in the day-to-day operation.
