The Alliance" -- A Virtual Connection

What is a "Virtual Assistant" and what can she do for me? These questions and more are answered as the VA-industry announces its worldwide existence through its newest industry-supported programs. Launching of new web site, informative magazine and silent auction drive entrepreneurs and small businesses to the Alliance for Virtual Businesses.

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) January 6, 2004 --International virtual professionals and virtual assistant organizations dedicated to promoting the global virtual assistance (VA) industry have joined forces to bring professionals and businesses needing administrative support and professional virtual assistants together. Organizations representing fifteen hundred virtual assistants collaborated to advocate globally on behalf of the VA industry and to promote the growth of free enterprise between virtual assistants, entrepreneurs, small businesses, associations, and other business enterprises. On January 5, the Alliance for Virtual Businesses (www.AllianceForVirtualBiz.com) began its worldwide information campaign.

Virtual Assistants are independent entrepreneurs providing creative, professional, managerial, technical, business office and/or personal support services. VAs use the most advanced modes of communication, and the newest and most efficient and time saving office products and work delivery, regardless of geographic boundaries. Virtual Assistants work from their own offices, on a contractual basis, and abide by an established Code of Ethics requiring integrity, honesty and due diligence.

Elayne Whitfield, co-founder of Canadian Virtual Assistant Connection states, The VA industry has come so far, so fast. A collaboration of individual VAs and VA associations worldwide is exactly what is needed to take our industry to the next level; the level where the question is not, 'What is a VA? but rather, 'Who is your VA? The Alliance for Virtual Businesses is an incredible effort to join us and foster our growth."

The Alliance has developed a proactive communication model to bring business owners and virtual assistants together. It consists of regularly scheduled media releases and appearances, a media and business-friendly website that defines virtual assisting and the industries VAs serve, a monthly VA-industry magazine benefitting businesses and virtual assistants alike, and much more.    

The website (http://www.allianceforvirtualbiz.com) is a central meeting location for businesses, media and virtual assistants. A place where VAs showcase their capabilities, businesses needing assistance find it, and the media that asks What is a VA?" receive answers.

As virtual assistants continue to work without global boundaries, the Alliance connects them to business professionals worldwide. This connection reinforces the Alliances position that the virtual assistant industry is viable, strong, capable and eager to demonstrate how VAs can work with members of any industry.
