Of course they are AWESOME, they are an Administrative Professional!




We have spent a year recognizing, thanking and praising the front-line workers who have diligently worked to keep us all safe through the COVID-19 pandemic. This week those of you who typically work in an office environment should have taken time to heap similar amounts of recognition and thanks on the professional administrative assistants you rely on: it's National Administrative Professionals Week! These individuals toil every day, often in obscurity, making the rest of us look good.  This past year they were challenged beyond belief and expectation to keep us and our companies operating smoothly, albeit remotely – creating even more challenge. 

As a personal note, I’m thankful to have been supported in my career with two of the best in the business. They made me, and the team, look fantastic! So, to those of you supported by one of these irreplaceable professionals, say thank you again because however many times you’ve said it, it isn’t enough.
