This is a great list of events.
Just an FYI — Professional Secretaries Day was renamed Administrative Professionals Day back in 2002. There is no need to list both.
Thanks so much,
Emily Hoffman
International Association of Administrative Professionals, sponsors of Administrative Professionals Week and Day.

Emily,
Thanks for sharing that update with us. In researching the month of April, we found references to both groups and didn’t want to take a chance on slighting either group. Having worked closely with both we’re certainly aware that Professional Secretaries and Administrative Professionals are the backbone of any organization. Thanks again for setting us straight!
