National Secretaries Day in Zimbabwe is celebrated annually on the FIRST Friday of September.

This annual event was originally organized in 1952 as "National Secretaries Week" by the National Secretaries Association (now known as the International Association of Administrative Professionals: IAAP).




Research shows that many workers around the world still hold the "secretary" job title; however, many alternative titles have become more popular, such as administrative assistant, office coordinator, administrative specialist, executive assistant, and office manager. While all secretaries are covered under the umbrella term "administrative professional," not all admins hold the title of "secretary."

The name change to Administrative Professionals Week and Administrative Professionals Day expands the event to include other administrative job titles that also richly deserve recognition.
