The first Secretaries Week was held June 1-7, 1952. In 1955, the NSA (National Secretaries Association) changed the date of the Secretaries Week to the last full week in April. This has become a permanent date for the observance of the week. In 1981, "Professional" was added to the name of the Secretaries Week.

OBS

The 48-year-old tradition of honoring administrative professionals during the last full week of April received a new name in 2000. Professional Secretaries Week has been renamed Administrative Professionals Week effective with the April 23-29, 2000 observance. The announcement was made by the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP), based in Kansas City, Mo., official sponsor of Professional Secretaries Week since the event's inception in 1952.
