Happy Administrative Professionals Day to our spectacular team! This special day recognizes the valuable professionals who keep the office running smoothly.

A little history: The observance first launched in 1952 when the U.S. Secretary of Commerce proclaimed June 4th as the designated “National Secretaries Day.” The name changed to Administrative Professionals Day in 2000 and was moved to the Wednesday of the last full week in April.

The day in the life of an administrative professional varies from moment to moment – especially during this unprecedented time. We asked our wonderful administrative team at the Community Foundation to share photos of their home-based offices.

Mary Leupold’s coworker Rocky fits comfortably in Mom’s lap, and reminds her often of his needs and the importance of her stepping away on occasion for walks, belly rubs and potty breaks.
