Today is Administrative Professionals Day, and—thanks in part to the enthusiasm and leadership of Kemetia Foley, CAP, ASA finance and customer service coordinator—the nation’s understanding of administrative professional careers is growing. Foley, who is featured today in a U.S. News & World Report article called “The Evolution of the Secretary,” owns the friendly voice ASA members hear each workday when they call the association.

ASA member companies, particularly those that specialize in office–administrative staffing services, also are ardent supporters of Administrative Professionals Day. For example, Office Team offers these recognition tips, and Adecco shares this video of appreciation and ideas for saying thank you.

ASA also provides resources and support for staffing firms that place office administrative associates through the ASA office–administrative membership section, one of six sections that support the broad areas of the industry and promote peer networking and collaboration.
