She told me from the day I wasīorn that I could do anything I put my mind to – so many times in fact, I think I finally began to believe it. Lastly, my Mom, Jeannette Castellano, former Executive Secretary and Corporate Receptionist, and the inspiration for The Admin Awards. From that moment on, he encouraged and supported me every step of the way, talking me off countless ledges with his soothing brand of logic and reminding me that with the right partner, yes, anything is possible. I’m going to launch the Admin Awards.” He was equal parts surprised and excited – a combination he’s become quite comfortable with over the past five years.
He tells a story about when I woke up one morning early in our marriage and said “I’m going to do it. She said YES! Which gave The Admin Awards much needed instant street cred and me the pressure I needed to make her proud and the program a great success in her honor. Colleen Barrett, Secretary turned President and COO of Southwest Airlines, whose name bears the programs most prestigious award, could have easily ignored my email plea requesting her participation with a “thanks, but I don’t put my reputation in the hands of someone I don’t know – someone that nobody knows for that matter.” But she didn’t. Her early encouragement as a friend, client and mentor followedīy the financial support as our first sponsor was the reinforcement I needed in our early days to keep moving this concept forward.

It’s because of these five people that hundreds of administrative professionals each year are celebrated and acknowledged for the incredibly important work that they do through The Admin Awards program.īarb Milo of Hall Group – my dear friend and the very first administrative professional I ran The Admin Awards idea by who said “yes, do it” and then moved every mountain to help make it a success as an inaugural member of the advisory board who five years later, still serves on our advisory board and continues to move mountain after mountain to advance this program. As we celebrate The Admin Awards fifth anniversary, and our launch into five new markets since 2012, I am reminded of the generosity of five people whose support, encouragement and loyalty have made the country’s first and only awards program in recognition of administrative professionals possible. The Five People that have made the Past Five Years Possible. C2 Admin AwArds - DALLAS Business JOurnAL
