Last Chance: Recognizing Administrative Professionals

Wednesday is Administrative Professionals Day.

This unofficial holiday recognizes the hard work and importance of secretaries, administrative assistants, receptionists and anyone who handles the administrative support in the work place.

Many administrative professionals help us at Patch get our work done at Patch. I'd like to recognize a few who field our phone calls, help us get information we need, and a whole lot more — Judy Booth-Richter, Amanda Bono, Carolina Chumi, Dorothy Peel, and Amy Ruhle at the , Sue Byrd and Layla Bennett at the , Johnson Nordlinger in the , Larry Cantwell, June Lester, and the entire staff at .

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Carol Bennett, pictured here, who is the senior clerk typist in the . She is doing the work of two for about a year and a half since Danna Miller retired. Highway Superintendent Stephen Lynch and Kevin Ahearn, the deputy superintendent, rave about her work.

I'm sure we are forgetting someone who deserves recognition, so my apologies in advance.

If you'd like to recognize someone who works in an administrative capacity in your office, please let us know in the comments below. You may also post a picture if they aren't too shy.

Happy Administrative Professionals Day!
