Could someone not call them the Secretary of Human Resources and it also be accurate by meaning? I think somehow we have degraded the term secretary through sexism. Secretary of State, Treasury, Defense are all some of the "highest" roles in our country yet we hear secretary and apparently it has a stigma from this context

    No. I hope that answers your question.

    Why not? If they are a position that answers directly to the CEO who govorns a department named Human Resources. I personally think they shouldn't report to the CEO, but they do in most companies. I think the head of HR and the CEO should both report to the board, but that's not how it usually works

    Because in a business environment, secretary doesn't mean that, and never has. It's that simple.

    By all means, feel free to invent word usages. But I doubt it will catch on. It'd be confusing and make people think of what we now call "admins".
