Secretary

A secretary, or administrative assistant, is a person whose work consists of supporting management, including executives, using a variety of project management, communication & 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 political organizations, such offices include the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of the Exterior (just kidding), Secretary of Education, Secretary of Transportation, etc.
