Corporate Accounts Payable, Nina Speaking. Just a Moment. – Happy Adminstrative Professionals Day!

As an operational support person in a Boston venture capital firm, I wear many hats. The ever changing role of the administrative professional has brought around a necessary change for our antiquated holiday name, National Secretaries Day. The IAAP (International Association of Administrative Professionals) has officially changed the holiday name from National Secretaries Day to the registered trademark, Administrative Professionals Day.

This is a day to acknowledge the hard work which your operational support teams do day in and day out. It is not necessary to get gifts, cards or flowers; a simple acknowledgment is all we really need. I have already had a couple of people at OpenView Venture Partners say thanks and Happy Admin. Professionals Day. The acknowledgment feels great!

How does your expansion stage firm celebrate the day?
