The Gift Exchange

My administrative assistant is wonderful. She works hards, knows what I need before I even know what I need. Like a multitasker at home, she multitasks at work and really does more work than is expected but shows she is a knowledgeable hardworking person who will work hard becuase she understands times are tough and we all have to do the best we can and sometimes overwork. She smiles and cares truly what is going on in your life, calls to make sure you are ok if you are sick, or if your kids are. There are some people that deserve the world and deserve great pay, but unfortunately times are financially tough and she will do ten peoples jobs in order to keep hers and others so no one else gets fired..she is a great part of the team and I pray she never leaves, otherwise expenses will go up- (she knows where to get the deals and coupons to save on the supplies). She is the first one there and the last one out, never complaining and usually without shoes and always with a diet soda to help keep her going. Thanks to all the assistants out there who deserve the world…we do what we can these days..but thankyou for understanding times indeed are tough.

My admin Jill is the best because she is the best on the phone – ever! She also knows all the company secrets. I couldn’t do it without her.

tina does a greta job of organizing all our events and keeping me on task.

I nominate my mom that works at a company and does a great job and has done it for 20 years!!
She deserves this gift and it would be delightful for her boss to see her get it too.

Megan is a firm but kind leader. She makes every effort to be certain she is understood, (she is Deaf) she is always fair and is dedicated to her staff’s development. I can’t say enough good things about her. She is not my supervisor but supports my program with equal zeal. She deserves this gift basket.

Thank you.

love the gift basket

my girl friend for she dos’nt give up

I nominate my brother Grrg. He is the jack-of-all trades and there is no(legal) job that he won’t do for the good of the business.

I nominate my sister, Lori, who has amazing organizational skills.She manages to work full time and get the kids to all their extracurricular activities with no help from her husband.She is going from 5:00am until 8:00pm when all the homework is done. She isn’t just an administrative proffesional at work, she is one at home as well.The other thing that amazes me is that she is always pleasant, even under pressure.

I nominate myself because I am great

I am a good admin asst because I have learned to anticipate what needs to be done and keep things organized.

lol…Wish I had an admin assistant…but since I don’t I’ll have to nominate myself!! I think I am very good at keeping our company organized and running extremely efficiently. I have had other companies ask me for advice on how to stay organized…and I give it to them free of charge..and they always come back with very positive feedback about my suggestions. Maybe I should think about starting a new career..lol

I nominate my husband. He is truly the best admin assistant. I am a homemaker and he helps with everything I need He is my best and only admin assistant and he does darn good
Thank you

I would love this gift pack! Unfortunately, due to the economy we do not get raises this year, did not get them last year either and I have been working at a major state university for 17 years and no recognition of my hard work, dedication, and service for all these years. Sometimes it would be nice just to receive a small gift of appreciation for what you do.

A team of three admins serve my office of five senior education officials in an urban school district. Each of the women is flexible, does not get hung up on who technically works for whom when asked to work on a project, and completes their work with good attention to detail, a strong sense of humor, and extraordinary professionalism. They also genuinely care about one another, other members of the office team, and our shared mission of helping 5,000 children receive the best education they can. How do I know? Hand decorated cakes brought into the office to celebrate important milestones, after-hours email messages to check-in after difficult days, and postcards sent from sunny vacation locales. I nominate the three admins in my office – Patti, Maryann and Christina – to share this prize.

i, also, nominate myself.
Admin, bz mgr, office mgr, are some of the titles i have been. i excelled because not only was i an expert of dealing with business in general, but i could also relate to the customers as a friend. i have a great work ethic, and able to handle any problem with being able to think on my feet.
businesses and customers, found it a pleasure to work with me to solve or execute whatever was needed at that moment or down the line. they had the confidence of knowing i would follow through , no matter how difficult it might be.

I’m nominating myself because over my many years working for the same company I have taken on responsibilities without any fan fare or requests from my employer or co-workers. I handle so many tasks in the office that when I take a day off, the office melts down. I really make the work environment stress free for my co-workers. If I’m there, they know ALL work will be done, the clients will be happy and we can leave at the end of the day without dreading unfinished work that will assail us the following morning.

I’m their smooth-sailing office manager.

He catches everything that I miss!

I totally nominate my mom!! She’s an administrative assistant and has been for years, thats how she was able to support me growing up!!

I nominate myself. I am the book keeper for hubbys business and he would never think to do anything this nice for me. Shucks he doesnt even pay me for the 25 hours a weekd I work, but the benefits are pretty good!

My assistant is the greatest because of all the errands that I’m always sending him to do, he gets it all done & more.

My sister, she keeps all 3 of her kids on schedule.

My assistant has saved me from a million jams over the past year. She is pricless. I would love to get this basket for her.

My husband is the greatest assistant. I have trouble writing and he helps me all the time.

The administrative assistant at our high school is great. Handling teenagers and their parents all day is a tough job! She does this after taking care of two of her grandchildren full-time. Terri is great!

I nominate my mom because while I’m studying hard for college, she helps me no matter what- with errands or helping me research with some of my problems. She also helps my twin sister. If we’re pulling her at both ends of the string, she doesn’t get exasperated or upset. She helps one and then the other!

My admin does her duties, volunteers forother duties, and never complains

I nominate my mom.
She is amazing at her job. She always gives her best to every company she works at, and she always receives the best praise from her bosses and coworkers, but we just moved, and she is now starting a new job, and doesn’t real feel as if she is doinga good job. I know she is. And I want to show her that.

I work as an office manager for a psychological practice. I work about 50 hrs a week doing everything from doing secretary duties, to bookkeeping, billing, plus I have a three year old at home and I am 7 months pregnant…yeah I stay busy!

I nominate myself. I think one of the greatest qualities an AA can have is to think ahead, whether it be what the boss might want for lunch or how to increase sales.

I don’t have an assistant but am kind of one myself, I work for a Doctor and part of my job is making his time in the office easier which I apparently do a great job doing, so I nominate myself. Thanks for the contest

My friend Gena is the best admin, she is always on top

I nominate myself because the men I work with don’t even know there is such a thing as administrative professionals day!

I nominate my mom, she has the most amazing people skills of anyone I’ve ever met, and has the uncanny ability to handle all obstacles with grace. Her boss is lucky to have her!

My admin keeps me organized, interested in new ideas, and always on my toes!

I would nominate my sister who works so hard and does a great job.

I feel I am a great admin asst. because I know my boss well enough to have documents ready for her before she even asks for them. She seems amazed at this, but it is just a matter of loving my job (admin in a children’s mental outpatient clinic), listening to words that aren’t spoken out loud and following through.
Thanks for the contest.

My mother- because she does it all!
She is THE ultimate administrative assistant

My admin is the best because it is my hubby and I =) and I think we’re awesome

I nominate Mollie from the Chelan Valley Independent School. The term “Administrative Professional” fits her perfectly as she is no one’s assistant, but everyone’s helpmate. Mollie replaced our former Office Manager/Admin Assistant AND our Director 3 years ago and does EVERYTHING that is needed from the bookkeeping, to recess, to bandaging skinned knees, to making sure we are all well-supplied with staples, paper, and dark chocolate. She also fields all parent issues, hiring, and manages our board. Mollie is the go-to person for every issue and is not at all well compensated for her work. She does it selflessly and often we forget to tell her how much we appreciate her. I really don’t know how our school would run if we didn’t have Mollie. Mollie defines “Administrative Professional” and really deserves to be acknowledged for her dedication, hard work, unique brand of love, and the chocolate. I hope you’ll consider our unsung hero for this honor. Thank you!

I nominate Christine. She is the one that keeps me on my toes. She is always there for me and knows exactly what I need. I couldnt do it without her.

I nominate my boss who gets things done no matter the circumstances.

I would like to nominate myself if I may. I work very hard

30+ years at the same job, so I’d like to nominate myself.

I have been one but never had one so this is a great thing to give, wish it was me back then
