Secretaries
Week was created in 1952 through
the work of Harry F. Klemfuss of
Young & Rubicam, in conjunction
with the National Secretaries Association,
now known as the International Association
of Administrative Professionals.
His goal was to encourage more people
to consider careers in the secretarial/administrative
support field. Using his skill and
experience in public relations,
Klemfuss promoted the values and
importance of the job of administrative
assistants. In doing so, he also
created the holiday in recognition
of the importance of administrative
assistants.
Sing
of secretaries! Office angels
Engaged
to file tedium away;
Comrades
pitching in for paltry wages:
Remember
them on Secretaries Day!
Equal
bearers of our office burdens,
Though
less-than-equal sharers of rewards;
Avid
guardians of others' gardens:
Render
them due homage in your song!
Initiate
the rites of recognition;
Elevate them to their one-day throne;
Sing
your unabashed appreciation,
Doing much for those who much have
done!
Angels
of the office silent serve,
Yet sing this day the praises they
deserve!
