Whereas, Administrative Professionals contribute greatly to the economic vitality
of the state of Michigan with their talent, discipline, and skill, which provide
a strong base for the smooth operation of any office; and,
Whereas, Administrative Professionals perform not only clerical tasks, but
are often responsible for administrative and public relations duties as well;
and,
Whereas, Without their wealth of knowledge and keen awareness of procedure
in the workplace, efficiency and effectiveness would drop dramatically; and,
Whereas, The annual observance of Administrative Professionals Week and Administrative
Professionals Day is an excellent opportunity for employers and fellow employees
in all office settings to recognize the countless contributions made by administrative
professionals throughout the year; and now therefore be it,
Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan
to hereby proclaim the week of April 18, 2004, be known as Administrative Professionals
Week and April 21, 2004, as Administrative Professionals Day in Michigan and
I urge all citizens to recognize the vital role that administrative professionals
play in the workplace and to extend appreciation to them during this week and
throughout the year.
