I’ve been a member of VA Directory since 2014.  Amongst the client requests I’ve received, I connected with one client 4 years ago and they are now my biggest client. I act in a CFO type role and am an integral member of the virtual team. For the last 3 years I have also been project managing a training program for the same client, which takes places in Hong Kong. So this has allowed me to make other long-lasting connections which have led to further work and even connections overseas! This has made my membership incredibly worthwhile and I’m glad I joined.

“I reached out to Kathie on extremely short notice to provide some general researchers that could assist with meeting a project deadline. Not only was she extremely responsive, within minutes I had a selection of well vetted candidates to chose from, and no more than 30 minutes from our first conversation, I had engaged a researcher. I would highly recommend Kathie to anyone needing VA work done, as she’ll be my “go to” person from now on, completely eliminating my need for oDesk and craigslist.”
