Argentina observes professional recognition days in September

Argentina observes several professional recognition dates in early September. September 4 marks Secretary's Day, a date intended to honor administrative professionals. Theories regarding its origin include the invention of the typewriter by Christopher Sholes or the 1952 establishment of National Secretaries Week in the United States.

Additionally, an associative proposal in Argentina seeks to institutionalize the first Saturday of September as a day to recognize women brewers. Led by groups such as ‘Colectiva de Cerveceras’ and ‘Birreras de Argentina,’ the initiative aims to highlight the contributions of women to the craft beer industry, where they represent approximately 30% of the workforce. The proposed day honors historical figure Hildegarda de Bingen, known for documenting the benefits of hops, and Argentine brewer María Fernández Preisegger, recognized for her work in inclusive brewing.
