According
to Salim and Toren (2013), a secretary
sometimes referred to as personal
assistant or administrative
assistant is a person whose work consists of supporting management,
including executives, using a variety of project management, communication, or
organizational skills. These functions may be entirely carried out to assist
one other employee or may be for the benefit of more than one. In other
situations a secretary is an officer of a society or organization who deals
with correspondence, admits new members, and organizes official meetings and

Casey (2010) describes a secretary as a person,
usually an official, who is in charge of the records, correspondence, minutes
of meetings, and related affairs of an organization, company, association, etc.
the job of the secretary may depend on the nature and size of organisation.
These might include managing budgets and doing bookkeeping, attending telephone
calls, handling visitors, maintaining websites, and making travel arrangements.
Secretaries might manage all the administrative details of running a high-level
conference or arrange the catering for a typical lunch meeting. Often
executives will ask their assistant to take the minutes at meetings and prepare
meeting documents for review.
