HOME Attract and retain top Administrative talent through our world-class recognition program Attend an Info Session Who Participates Who We are The Admin Awards is the Administrative Profession’s highest honor, created over a decade ago by the daughter of a retired Executive Secretary. Often referred to as the ‘Academy Awards for Admins‘, the Admin Awards is the first and only public recognition program of its kind in the country that focuses specifically on recognizing and rewarding the achievements, dedication and importance of Administrative Professionals. The Admin Awards currently operates in six regions across the U.S. including Boston and New England Region, Chicago and Midwest Region, Dallas / Fort Worth and Southwest Region, Houston and Gulf Region, Francisco, Silicon and San Francisco Bay Area Region, and Washington D.C. and Mid-Atlantic Region. The Admin Awards offers nine distinct award categories, including the program’s most prestigious award, The Colleen Barrett Award for Administrative Excellence which elevates the professional who embodies the “spirit” and proficiency of nationally renowned former secretary, Colleen Barrett, now President Emeritus of Southwest Airlines.
