HOME Attract and retain top Administrative talent through our world-class recognition program Attend an Info Session Who Participates Who We are The Admin Awards is the Administrative Profession’s highest honor, created over a decade ago by the daughter of a retired Executive Secretary. Often referred to as the ‘Academy Awards for Admins‘, the Admin Awards is the first and only public recognition program of its kind in the country that focuses specifically on recognizing and rewarding the achievements, dedication and importance of Administrative Professionals. The Admin Awards currently operates in ten cities across the U.S. including Boston, Chicago, Dallas / Fort Worth, Denver, Houston, Pacific Northwest, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Silicon Valley and Washington D.C. The Admin Awards offers nine distinct award categories, including the program’s most prestigious award, The Colleen Barrett Award for Administrative Excellence which elevates the professional who embodies the “spirit” and proficiency of nationally renowned former secretary, Colleen Barrett, now President Emeritus of Southwest Airlines.

Lisa Habig – PTC, Inc.Leadership Award View Bio Lisa Habig – PTC, Inc.Leadership Award Lisa Habig – PTC, Inc.Leadership Award Lisa Habig is Senior Executive Assistant to the CEO of PTC, Inc., where she has garnered a reputation as a truly exceptional and trusted partner.

Through her own initiative, Lisa pulled together all of PTC’s Executive Assistants into an EA Forum where they meet periodically to collaboratively discuss and align around best practices and company-wide standards for the profession. After seeing her exceptional skills as a manager, PTC changed reporting structures so that all EAs now report to Lisa.

Kelley Duchesne – Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council (MassTLC)Spirit Award View Bio Kelley Duchesne – Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council (MassTLC)Spirit Award Kelley Duchesne – Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council (MassTLC)Spirit Award Kelley Duchesne is Senior Office Manager at Massachusetts Technology, where she accomplishes so much more than any title could imply — it’s no exaggeration to say that she is the company’s heart and soul. Kelley selflessly intends for her work to be seamless and even invisible, and she always asks team members what more she can do to better help and support them. During the past year, these efforts have been more impactful than ever — when MassTLC faced a steep drop in revenue due to the pandemic, Kelley immediately began investigating the company’s eligibility for PPP funding, and despite an initial rejection, continued exploring possibilities until she secured funds. During social-distancing protocols, she went the extra mile — literally — to drive documents to the CEO for signature in his driveway. Considering Kelley stops at nothing to support the MassTLC team, it’s no wonder her colleagues describe her as “the best coworker, bar none,” “the core of the team,” “stellar,” “unwavering,” and “awe-inspiring.” Nichole Anderson – CoformaColleen Barrett Award for Administrative Excellence View Bio Nichole Anderson – CoformaColleen Barrett Award for Administrative Excellence Nichole Anderson – CoformaColleen Barrett Award for Administrative Excellence Nichole “Nikki” Anderson is Executive Assistant at Coforma, where she has played an invaluable role in the company’s expansion, from supporting team members through onboarding to prioritizing a culture of fairness, empathy, and inclusivity. Her positive attitude and proactive approach to collaboration make her a joy to work with, a sentiment shared across multiple departments at Coforma. She has gone above and beyond in supporting her coworkers in times of stress, by cleaning up their inboxes and keeping them in the loop about the executive team’s priorities and schedule. She has been masterful at syncing up the company’s growing legal and executive teams, allowing the teams to collaborate on managing new contract opportunities, which have grown nearly 70% from the previous year. Nikki is stellar at leveraging years of experience across different industries to bring forward useful skills, from research expertise to event planning philosophies to assembling expansive compliance matrices in just a few days. She is the very definition of the “best of the best.” Jaci Spross – SynopsysColleen Barrett Award for Administrative Excellence View Bio Jaci Spross – SynopsysColleen Barrett Award for Administrative Excellence Jaci Spross – SynopsysColleen Barrett Award for Administrative Excellence Jaci Spross is Executive Assistant at Synopsys, where she is a role model, cheerleader and leader to everyone — especially to other Admins. Jaci excels at mentoring the local Synopsys Hillsboro Administrative teams to ensure they are a cohesive, functioning group, which is key to ensuring Synopsys functions with integrity and efficiency. She encourages each member of the Admin team to share best practices and experiences, and during the company’s work from home situation, she scheduled weekly virtual chats with the administrative team to continue relationship building and sharing any concerns. Jaci’s accomplishments and positive impact on Synopsys are practically endless — a few examples include her development and successful implementation of a new SEG Award program, development of a departmental webpage to recognize outstanding employees, and completion of the Business Resiliency Continuity Manager certification. Jaci is not only a vital asset to her team, but to the entire company as she consistently embodies what it is to be a Synopsys employee. Junell Lewis – Ann & Robert H.

Kelley Duchesne Kelley Duchesne is Senior Office Manager at Massachusetts Technology, where she accomplishes so much more than any title could imply — it’s no exaggeration to say that she is the company’s heart and soul. Kelley selflessly intends for her work to be seamless and even invisible, and she always asks team members what more she can do to better help and support them. During the past year, these efforts have been more impactful than ever — when MassTLC faced a steep drop in revenue due to the pandemic, Kelley immediately began investigating the company’s eligibility for PPP funding, and despite an initial rejection, continued exploring possibilities until she secured funds. During social-distancing protocols, she went the extra mile — literally — to drive documents to the CEO for signature in his driveway. Considering Kelley stops at nothing to support the MassTLC team, it’s no wonder her colleagues describe her as “the best coworker, bar none,” “the core of the team,” “stellar,” “unwavering,” and “awe-inspiring.” Nichole Anderson Nichole “Nikki” Anderson is Executive Assistant at Coforma, where she has played an invaluable role in the company’s expansion, from supporting team members through onboarding to prioritizing a culture of fairness, empathy, and inclusivity.
