The Virtual Assistant Networking Association is the largest membership base of Virtual Assistants online today with over 10,000+ registered members. The media asked for our help and participation in putting together some general Virtual Assistant statistics for public consumption use in articles, stories, news and television related to Virtual Assistants. We hope these Virtual Assistant statistics will further help everyone understand more about this new career and the business entrepreneurs who call themselves Virtual Assistants. Name Email:

	Testimonial Raves ... How important is this forum to your VA business and why? Very important. Since as a profession, we don't work in proximity with others in similar positions - this forum serves as a sort of virtual watercooler where we can commiserate, congratulate and exchange experience, ideas and tips. Also a place where we can bounce ideas off a peer group and get some truly insightful answers. Plus some of y'all are a hoot! Sue Rodney It gives me a chance to see things in different ways that maybe I hadn't thought of before. I learn at least one thing new nearly every time I am on the site...so I find it very educational. I like to be able to talk in a group with people who know what I'm talking about...and who I understand as well as who understand me. Gerald
