Celebrate International Receptionist Day 2022

Celebrate International Receptionist Day on May 11th, 2022 by sending a custom "card" to your receptionist with this template

International Receptionist Day is on May 11th, 2022. Originally started in 1991 as just National Receptionist Day in the United States, it’s a day to show appreciation for the men and women who run your office.

International Association of Administrative Professionals⁠

). The receptionist profession gained some popularity with Pam Beesly from The Office in 2005:
