Administrative Professional's Day, observed this year on Wednesday, April 27, originated during a dramatic time in history. As World War II raged, skilled administrative personnel were desperately needed to keep organizations running smoothly at home. To appropriately recognize the dedication of those in that career, as well as to encourage others to follow suit the National Secretaries Association was established. The Association guaranteed that support personnel, who worked so diligently and contributed so much to their local economies, got the gratitude that they earned.
As the decades have passed, the organization and the holiday has revised its name twice to represent better society in flux, and a more diverse and challenging work environment. The International Association of Administrative Professionals, as it is now known, has the vision to expand and increase the influence of their members. Far from being a passive group, they concentrate on international membership growth, continuing education opportunities and maintaining a standard of excellence for the industry. The mission of the IAAP is 'to inspire and equip all administrative professionals to attain excellence.
