CELEBRATING "ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS DAY" ON APRIL 24, 2019, AND THANKING ALL OF THE DEDICATED STAFF WHO WORK TIRELESSLY IN SUPPORT OF THE RHODE ISLAND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES |
Introduced By: Representatives Mattiello, Shekarchi, Filippi, Diaz, and Lima |
Date Introduced: April 24, 2019 |
WHEREAS, In 1952, United States Secretary of Commerce Charles W. Sawyer |
proclaimed the week of June 1-7 to be "National Secretaries Week" with Wednesday, June 4th |
being designated as "National Secretaries Day." In 1955, "National Secretaries Week" was moved |
to the last full week of April with the Wednesday of that week now being designated as |
"Administrative Professionals Day." The name was changed to "Professional Secretaries Week" |
in 1981, and became "Administrative Professionals Week" in 2000; and |
WHEREAS, Administrative Professionals Day celebrates the four million hard-working |
Administrative Assistants within the United States workforce who make invaluable contributions |
on a daily basis in support of their workplace. Many of them toil late into the night and early in |
the morning in order to ensure that the work product is accurate and on time. Without these |
dedicated professionals, most workplaces could not function properly; and |
WHEREAS, Our nation's Administrative Professionals can be found working for small |
and big businesses, at charitable entities, and in all government institutions including schools, |
hospitals and other vital components of society, and they are often the first contact a member of |
the public has with a particular institution; and |
WHEREAS, At the Rhode Island State House, dedicated Administrative Professionals |
work long hours to support the needs and important functions of the Rhode Island House of |
Representatives. Thanks to these exemplary professionals, the members of the House can better |
represent their constituents and do the important work they were elected to do; now, therefore be |
it |
RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island and |
Providence Plantations hereby proudly celebrates "Administrative Professionals Day" on April |
24, 2019, and thanks all of the dedicated staff who work tirelessly in support of the Rhode Island |
House of Representatives; and be it further |
RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and hereby is authorized and directed to |
transmit a duly certified copy of this resolution to Ms. Nara Onishi, CAP, OM, PM, Chair of the |
International Association of Administrative Professionals. |
