administrating
Overseeing organizational tasks
Administrating is the present participle of administrate, a back-formation from administration that means the same as administer.
The longer form appears in bureaucratic contexts: She's been administrating the program for three years.
Most style guides prefer administer, but administrating persists, especially when the emphasis falls on ongoing management rather than a single act.
