PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Berkshire Chamber of Commerce will celebrate Administration Professionals Week, April 20th through 24th with a special reception at Mazzeo's Ristorante, located at 7 Winter Street in Pittsfield, on Wednesday, April 22, 2009 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The musical talents of the Sister City Jazz Ambassadors will provide entertainment for the evening and delicious hors d’oeuvres and appetizers will be available. Special gifts will be provided to all administrative professionals who attend the event.

Administrative Professionals Week recognizes and celebrates the work of secretaries, administrative assistants, and other office professionals for their growing and diverse contributions to the workplace. The people who help run our business are an invaluable part of the team and it can be easy to let their work often go overlooked throughout the year. The Berkshire Chamber’s Administrative Professional’s Celebration is the perfect opportunity to show Administrative Professionals how much they are appreciated. Additional ways to honor Administrative Professionals are: are: sending flowers or a festive balloon bouquet, purchasing a gift certificate to local businesses, or by giving an assorted gift basket.

Also at this event, there will be information available about the newly established Berkshire Chapter of the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP). IAAP is a professional association of more than 40,000 secretaries and other administrative professionals worldwide located in more than sixty countries. This professional organization focuses on the importance of networking and educational opportunities.

The cost to attend the Berkshire Chamber’s Administrative Professional’s Celebration is $15 per person. While this event is intended to celebrate and recognize the members of every organization’s behind-the-scenes team, the Chamber encourages employees of all backgrounds and levels to attend.
