Admin Awards Press Room.

The Admin Awards was inspired by my mother. She was a career Executive Secretary who retired shy of her 80th birthday. Growing up, I saw first-hand the incredible pride my mother had for her role, the immense and lasting impact she had on her organization and colleagues, and how valued and appreciated she was.

As I reflected on my mother’s career, I realized that there wasn’t a single national or international recognition program dedicated to recognizing the invaluable contributions of Administrative Professionals - a role which began with our country's Founding Fathers - known throughout history as Personal Secretaries and Aide de Camps. People like my Mother, and the over six million Admins across the U.S. – who are often considered the “backbones of an organization" had been overlooked by other business award platforms. 

In 2012 that changed when I created the Admin Awards, with a singular focus and unwavering motivation: to recognize deserving Administrative Professionals through an awards platform that truly succeeded in capturing the spirit and significance of the modern-day Administrative Professional. 

Over the last decade, the Admin Awards has grown both in reach and reputation. From our inaugural market - Dallas / Fort Worth - we now have a presence in 9 metropolitan areas across the United States. We are very proud to be regarded as the Administrative Profession’s highest honor through our five-star recognition program and prestigious array of annual awards known as the "Academy Awards for Admins".
