Every day you have someone in your life that makes a difference professionally as well as personally. More often than not, it’s the former that gets overlooked at the office…which inspired EZ Office Products to proclaim the:
“EZ Office Products Admin Professional of the Year Award”
Administrative Professional's Week will be celebrated April 22-28, 2012 and Admin Professional's Day celebrated on Wednesday, April 25, 2012. This year, the International Association of Administrative Professionals celebrates their 60th Anniversary of this event. IAAP is the founder of the Day and responsible for proudly continuing the tradition.
In recognition of this day and to all who make life EZ-ier at the office, more efficient and usually more fun, we will reward one very special Admin Professional. You will help be the judge! If you have a very special admin professional in mind — your office manager, administrative assistant, secretary, etc. — tell us! If you are the Admin Professional – go ahead and nominate yourself – after all you’re probably the one who “gets things done around there” – so do what you always do and take charge with a self-nomination!
How to Nominate and Win the EZ Office Products Admin Professional of the Year Award
Nominating someone (or yourself!) is easy – here's how:
Step 1: Like our Facebook page (a ground rule for entry since we will notify followers each time a new entry is received). Fans and followers alike get to see your terrific story!

Either way, we check this page daily and will make sure your entry is posted on our EZOP Facebook page no later than the following day. When writing your story, keep these points in mind:
- What makes your Admin Professional special / or You special (if self-nominating)
- How does your Admin Professional go out of the way every day to make the jobs of your colleagues EZ-ier / or You (if self-nominating)
- What does your Admin Professional do that makes the office run smoothly and efficiently / or You (if self-nominating)
Step 3: Encourage your colleagues to visit our website and Facebook page. The number of comments to an entry on our website OR the number of likes/comments we get to the announcement of an entry on Facebook plays a factor. The top five stories (posts) that receive the most likes and/or comments will be reviewed by an independent panel designated by EZ Office Products.
The winner will be announced at 4:00pm CST on Admin Professional’s Day, Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Find the winner’s name on our EZ Office Products Facebook page as well as ezop.com.

Marge Schmuhl is our Senior Teller and Administrative Assistant. She supervises and mentors our Tellers in addition to performing many administrative tasks. She provides an exemplary example as a team player. She is always willing to fill i…n as needed even if she is not scheduled to work. She is a member favorite because she is always friendly and helpful and looks out for what is best for our members. She speaks out for our members and staff even if it is contrary to management thinking. She is frugal to a fault and is one of the hardest working people I have worked with over 20 plus years. She also has a great sense of humor. (She actually put duct tape over my mouth once.) Marge is an excellent person and I hardily nominate her for Ezop Administrative Professional of the Year 2012. Tom Pinnow, President, County City Credit Union.
After over 20 years in professional work settings I have never met an administrative professional as calm, graceful and kind under pressure as Dawn Tuescher, Executive Assistant to Platinum Wealth Management of MassMutual’s CEO, Tim Powers.
She will be celebrating her 9 year anniversary with MassMutual the end of this month. During this time, she has worked under two CEO’s and held the office together during the major in between transition time. She continuously and graciously takes on additional and fill-in responsibilities as needed. At various times she has been the event coordinator, bookkeeper, office manager, payroll administrator, charitable giving coordinator and probably many other hats I’m not even aware of. I have never seen her frazzled and that is not only incredibly impressive, it’s outright inspirational. She is always accessible and creatively has resources and solutions at her fingertips for us even when she’s swamped with her own work. In her position, she is required to have a high level of professionalism and confidentiality and she is more secure than an FDIC approved vault; Negative office gossip doesn’t exist in our office due to her example!
With great confidence I nominate Dawn Tuescher for EZOP’s Administrative Professional of the year award as I would love to see her receive a fraction of the recognition she deserves!
Maitri Meyer, Director of Recruiting, Platinum Wealth Management of MassMutual
I enthusiastically add my nomination for Rachel Rasmussen, founder of Rescue Desk Virtual Assistance Services – she has been an absolute pleasure to work with and I consider her to be a key member of my company’s team. And she LOVES what she does, looks for opportunities to mentor others in the field and is running a wildly successful, rapidly growing business around administration!
I would love to nominate Rachel Rasmussen — she is a terrific professional, business owner, and a creative and multi -talented person. It has been my pleasure to see her start her business and make it grow so successfully over the past 5 years. Hats off to Rachel and hope she gets a trip to Indy 500! She deserves it.
We are nominating Jackie Hahn, office manager/accounting professional of Applied Tech. She is more than a Jill of all Trades, everything from cleaning out the freezer to managing our company’s employee get-togethers and staff appreciation efforts. She is friend to all and one of the hardest workers in the company. She keeps everyone happy and well taken care of. Without her, the atmosphere wouldn’t the same as it would miss the energy and charisma she brings!
She is the wind beneath our wings, the peanut butter to our jelly, the honey to our bread and the rainbow in our skittles. She deserves to win this for all her hard work, support and friendship. Go Jackie!!
We love you, Jackie!
You’re awesome Jackie!

I worked with Jackie at a previous job and I will always remember her positive attitude and enthusiasm. Even after 6 years she still sends emails and stays in touch. She is a positive influence in any environment and isn’t afraid to take on any task that needs to be done. I wish I hadn’t moved or I would have enjoyed our continued working relationship. I hope she receives this award as she is truly a wonderful administrative asset to any company. I miss her smile and her positive attitude. Good luck Jackie! No matter what you are a winner and I hope we can see each other again. Angela Porter
