Virtual Assistant Membership Benefits

Business-minded Virtual Assistants realize that investing in themselves and their business knowledge is one of the smartest moves they can make. They also realize that belonging to a professional and respected Virtual Assistant association adds another layer of trust and credibility for prospective clients. Your growth and development as a Virtual Assistant professional is a fostered mission at our organization. Here's what we care deeply and passionately about as a Virtual Assistant association:

• Helping Virtual Assistants learn new ways of operating and thinking for greater professional and financial success.
• Leading the industry out of infancy and into maturity as the profession of administrative experts, not contract employees.
• Growing more respect for our profession and our craft.
• Better educating the marketplace about what we are and how we help clients.
• Creating a venue exclusively for the truly skilled, qualified, competent and reputable Virtual Assistants who hold their profession and their craft in high esteem.

The Virtual Assistance Chamber of Commerce offers three ways for you to become affiliated with our organization. Registration is open to all Virtual Assistants no matter where they are in the world. As long as you are a Virtual Assistant (and not a virtual staffing or multi/team-VA agency or secretarial service) and have your business website up and running, you are invited to register. For all levels, the starting place is joining our free VACOC Peer Networking Club.
