Your Virtual Assistant

Owning a home based business invariably means having to outsource jobs in order to keep up. This has several benefits as opposed to hiring people to come into your home (zoning laws being one of the most important). If you're currently working with a "virtual assistant," here's some important news for you:

Virtual Assistant Networking Announces Premier Partner Program

Vancouver, British Columbia (PRWEB) August 8, 2006 -- Virtual Assistant Networking (VAN), today’s largest online virtual assistant (VA) organization is pleased to reveal its Premier Partner Program. This program is designed to provide a variety of tools and resources to the rapidly growing virtual assistant industry including discounted memberships to VA organizations and reduced pricing on materials.

VAN continually strives to increase benefits for their 2800+ members while still maintaining their high professional standards. According to Tawnya Sutherland, VAN founder, “This program truly is a win-win situation. Not only are VAN members receiving substantial discounts on the products and services they’re most likely to use, but the affiliates are offered a chance to get in on the ground floor. They gain exposure through out this large group of virtual professionals and are provided the opportunity to remain in the spotlight as this industry continues to explode. VAN has had a 25% increase in membership over the past two months alone and it’s only expected to continue.”

VAN’s Premier Partners are as diverse as their growing membership. These partners offer services beneficial to VAs in any stage of their business. For members just entering the profession VAN has partnered with The University of Virtual Assistants who provides training of the highest standards for aspiring VAs. These training programs are also beneficial to established VAs desiring increased credibility or diversified skill sets. Other VAs may enjoy joining the newest Premier Partner, Virtual Divas, an organization focused on aiding female virtual professionals in adopting a healthier, more balanced lifestyle. There really is something for all the members.
