Marie C. There aren't many forums that provide such great resources and support as the Virtual Assistance Chamber of Commerce. I had to go half way around the world to find you! Thank goodness for the Internet. If it wasn't for the VACOC, I would never have built the confidence and understanding of running a business that I have. I know I only started my practice in February this year, but by reading the challenges that others have faced I realised that I wasn't struggling, but just going through the normal processes. Thank you very much for providing me with such a great stepping stone in my adventure.

Donna C. I have truly benefited and grown as a member of the VACOC and appreciate all that you have and continue to do for us and the industry. I would say that the most valuable benefit I have gotten from my membership was feeling part of a group — if I was working at 2 am, I could reach out and obtain feedback. Working in the corporate world, I was usually part of a team and always had a sounding board. There was no sounding board in my basement and the knowledge transition from big, ineffective law firm to supporting a solo business owner was so much bigger than I anticipated. If it were not for the VACOC, I may have given up and I am so glad that I didn’t. I have much more to learn about so many things both in business in skill set. I am looking forward to the future and I can really see my success. I thank you for starting this organization and for bringing together a terrific group of like-minded individuals.
