The Admin Awards operates a national recognition program that publicly acknowledges the contributions of administrative professionals within the field. The program conducts a gala in nine U.S. cities with multiple award categories, including the Colleen Barrett Award for Administrative Excellence, named after Colleen Barrett—a former secretary who rose to President and COO of Southwest Airlines. While the event is competitive, it centers on celebrating the work of administrative staff and their impact on teams. Based in Dallas, Texas, the organization supports a small-to-mid-sized team that engages organizations seeking to recognize and elevate administrative talent. In August 2025, it announced a partnership with the law firm Klemchuk LLP, signaling an ongoing collaboration to honor exceptional administrative professionals.
