Press Release Body: On October 24, 2008, the International Virtual Assistants
Association (IVAA) will host their third annual online conference entitled,
"Building Success through Education!" This 12-hour event (8:00 am to 8:00 pm EDT)
is specifically designed for home-based business professionals who work virtually.
This webinar is open to the public. There will be a vast array of topics offered,
with sessions from inspiring, expert presenters covering issues for both the new and
the veteran virtual professional – and even those wishing to learn more about
joining the field.

Attendees may choose a la carte from any of three sessions offered every hour or may
simply take one of IVAA’s suggested “course routes” for the day:

• Freshman – Geared towards those considering this career or who have been in
business for only one or two years.
• Tenured – Featuring topics for virtual professionals in business for several years
who wish to expand their business, stay on top of current trends, and enhance their
skills / services.
• Training Room – The Training room is a series of interactive sessions designed to
give participants hands-on experience with today’s hottest technology.

In today’s shaky economy, many businesses turn to the virtual world for professional
and secretarial support. Today’s Virtual Assistants are able offer the same skill
level and administrative services found in any office team, but they offer these at
a savings, billing clients only for the time a project takes to complete. There are
no sick days, vacations, or company-paid benefits in the virtual world. Since VA’s
work remotely, the business owner doesn’t even have to provide an office or a
computer. Assignments are transmitted at the speed of light via the internet or fax.

Since 1999, the IVAA has been dedicated to the professional education and
development of virtual assistants worldwide, as well as educating the public about
the function and services VA’s offer. With over 1,000 members in over fifteen
countries, IVAA is the premier industry association, setting standards for
excellence and offering a myriad of courses leading up to formal certification
(CVA). Hosting the annual online conference allows IVAA to reach a wide audience and
continue their mission to educate and certify the best professionals in this growing
industry.

Through these virtual courses and certification program, IVAA provides a much needed
doorway for men and women to re-enter the business world after years of staying home
for their families – or just to make a lifestyle change and leave commutes and
offices behind.

You can participate in this event with only an internet connection and computer (or
join discussions with headset with microphone). The webinar is open to the public,
no membership is required. You may register at: http://online.vasummit.org/. October
24th looks like a great day to start a new life.
