Hi Everyone, This year Secretary's Day or more appropriately Administrative Professional's Day is April 23, 2014.  National Professional Secretaries Week and National Secretary's Day was created in 1952 through the work of Harry F. Klemfuss of Young and Rubicam. Klemfuss recognized the importance and value of the position to a company or business. 

Today, the title is changing and evolving. But, the recognition is equally important. There are two new terms in use today. They are "Administrative Professionals" and "Executive Admins". The two names sometimes mean different roles and responsibilities to different companies. Both are broader terms, which encompass more positions than the original "Secretary" role. The name change recognizes and acknowledges that the role has changed significantly since 1952, and for the better at that.
The most common ways of recognizing your Administrative Professional(s) today are:
  • Flowers
  • Cards, often with shopping gift certificates
  • Take them to lunch 
  • Candies
  • Assorted Gift Baskets
Administrative Professionals Day gifts are by far the most common way of giving recognition to these most important people on your staff.  So don't forget those that keep your company running smoothly.
There is one more great day for April, I have to mention on April 28th, Kiss Your Mate Day. This is a perfect chance to smooch with your partner. As if you need an opportunity to share a kiss or two with the one you love. With spring in the air, April is an appropriate time for Kiss Your Mate Day.

Unfortunately, researchers tell us that kissing, an important part of romance and intimacy is the first thing to go in a relationship. If you don't currently kiss your mate every day, use today to re-establish kissing in your life. 
Here are some Kiss Your Mate Day tips and rules:
  • There is no upper limit to the number of times you can kiss your mate today.
  • It is highly recommended that you limit your kisses to just one mate.
  • You can kiss your mate wherever you want (location/place).
  • You can kiss your mate wherever you want (anatomically speaking)
  • Giving candy or flowers is not required. But, I suggest that those who do will receive more kisses.
