National Office
Professionals Day
May
5 2008
Formerly
known as Secretary's Day
All year, your Secretary
or Personal Assistant
works hard to make your
life easier. She or he
probably saves you many
headaches and
inconvenient
interruptions.
Consider for a minute
what your working week
would be like without
your Assistant ...
Is a little recognition
of her or his efforts in
order? Office
Professional's Day
is on May 5 and could
be just the opportunity
for you to acknowledge
how much you appreciate
your secretary, PA,
receptionist, mail room
staff and other
administrative people in
the business.
Flowers are always well
received, or maybe you
want something a little
different. Below are
some suggestions for
you; each item suggested
is linked to the site
where you can purchase
it online. You can order
a gift for your
Office Professional to arrive in
the office on the day -
you don't even need to
leave your desk.
National Office
Professional's Day is
set by
AIOP each year in
Australia. In other
places, such as USA and
the UK, the day is in
late April. However,
with Easter and Anzac
Day in Australia, the
day has been delayed to
May to simplify
things.

When a man tells you
that he got rich through
hard work, ask him: 'Whose?'
Don Marquis (1878 -1937)
We all of us
need assistance. Those who
sustain others themselves
want to be sustained.
Maurice
Hulst,
The Way of the Heart
Take care
of those who work for you
and you'll float to
greatness on their
achievements.
H. S. M. Burns
