YOU K
NOW
? The Inspiration for
The Admin Awards is
the Founder’s Mother,
Jeannette Castellano,
a career admin, who
recently retired her
position as full-time
corporate receptionist
just shy of her
80th birthday.
AWARD CATEGORIES INCLUDE:*
*Typically nine award categories are presented at each awards gala and vary slightly from market to market.
While The Admin Awards is a competition, at its heart it’s a celebration of every administrative professional and an event that executives attend alongside their finalist, who truly value this unique opportunity to show their appreciation both tangibly and publicly.
THE PROGRAM WAS EXTREMELY WELL
EXECUTED, WITH EVERY DETAIL COVERED. EVEN
BETTER WAS THE SENSE OF APPRECIATION AND
CELEBRATION THAT FILLED THE ROOM. YOU ARE SUCH A VISIONARY! THE ADMIN AWARDS IS A FABULOUS
IDEA THAT SHOULD TRANSLATE BEAUTIFULLY TO EVERY MAJOR MARKET
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. CONGRATULATIONS ON A
WONDERFUL EVENT.

I CANNOTSTOP TALKINGABOUT IT
T H E E V E N T W A S S O A M A Z I N G
IT WAS BY FAR AN AWARDS LUNCHEON PUT TOGETHER BY “WOMEN” FOR “WOMEN.” EVEN THOUGH I RECOGNIZE WE HAVE MEN IN OUR W O R K S P A C E N O W A N D D O I N G S O V E R Y EFFECTIVELY. EVERYONE LOVES MY AWARD... IT IS ALL THEY CAN TALK ABOUT… LOVE THE COLOR, THE STYLE, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT SAYS, “AWESOME.” THANKS AGAIN, I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR’S EVENT. I GUARANTEE IT WILL BE TWICE THE SIZE!
I just want to compliment you all on
a WONDERFUL job you did with the
Admin Awards. As an administrative
assistant, it is most encouraging to
see so many companies and
individuals lift up their support
staff. So often our role is looked
down upon. So thank you for the
encouragement and praise and
special event you had specifically
for this group of individuals.
The welcome, the funny video and
music, tasty food and awesome
prizes and awards – all were
FABULOUS!
I look forward to next
year’s celebration.
