In 1958, Patricia Bays Haroski led the charge to inaugurate a new national day of recognition, Boss’s Day. Inspired by her boss at State Farm Insurance in Chicago, Patricia felt that great bosses were so influential that they deserved recognition. She seemingly was on to something, as the day is now not only observed in the United States, but in many diverse countries such as India and Australia.

Experts tell us that all great bosses share similar traits. If your boss is someone who is inspirational and motivational, come to Ron & Alicia Robinson Florist for the perfect gift of appreciation.
