It’s Administrative Professional’s Day!
Congratulations to all the current and former administrative assistants in the group. Enjoy your day!
The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources. As the primary use for shorthand — business and legal recording — has waned in recent decades, we generally acclaim the skill as a hobby or personal tool.
