Administrative Professionals Day

Thanks goes to the Kroger ad yesterday for reminding everyone of 'Administrative Professionals Day'.

I suppose we should now refer to Administrative Professional of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton, or to Brian Kemp as Georgia's Administrative Professional of State?

Wiki says: "The name was changed to Professional Secretaries Week in 1981, and became Administrative Professionals Week in 2000 to encompass the expanding responsibilities and wide-ranging job titles of administrative support staff. National Secretaries Week was created in 1952 through the efforts of Harry F. Klemfuss, a New York publicist. Working in conjunction with the National Secretaries Association, later known as the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP), Klemfuss wanted to encourage more people to consider careers in the secretarial/administrative support field."

I can appreciate the title change, but switching out the holiday name just seems to beg the question even more in contrast to the tradition. But, I guess this is a long-term plan in terms of impacting perception.

Oh, the disambiguation.
