Whereas, "Forward Moving," the theme for Administrative Professionals Week 2008, denotes how career-minded administrative professionals are positioning themselves for success in today's ever-changing business environment by mastering advanced office technology, continually honing their communication skills, forging collaborative relationships with managers and coworkers, and taking charge of their own career development; and,

Whereas, Administrative Professionals Week was first organized in 1952 by the International Association of Administrative Professionals to recognize these vital office workers and their contributions in the workplace and to attract people to secretarial and administrative careers; and,

Whereas, administrative professionals are called upon to lead by example, take pride in their work, approach all projects with integrity and professionalism, and bring value to their employers through continuing education, certification, networking and mentoring; and,

Whereas, administrative professionals, including administrative assistants, office supervisors, office assistants and secretaries compose the largest segment of the office workforce; now,

Therefore, I, Andy Wambsganss, Mayor of the City of Southlake, on behalf of the City Council, do hereby proclaim April 20 - 26, 2008, as Administrative Professionals Week.
