I believe that volunteering is important, rewarding, and something everyone should get involved in. I’ve done much volunteering over the years and was a manager of 40 volunteers for a non-profit organization. With that being said, when Tawnya Sutherland of VAnetworking asked if I’d be interested in moderating a forum about Organizing, Efficiency & Project Management at the VAnetworking website I didn’t hesitate but said absolutely.
I’m happy to give back to an organization that gives so much to virtual assistants worldwide; myself included. I’ve really enjoyed the friendships I’ve made, the networking connections, and being able to interact with colleagues near and far. Whenever I’m searching for some interaction from the ‘virtual office’ this is one of the first places I head to.
So, if you have any questions about Organization, Efficieny, or Project Management then pop over to VAnetworking.com and we’ll get the conversation rolling.
Until the next leaf falls,
~Ruth
PS: If you have questions about any thing pertaining to virtual assistance then also pop over to VAnetworking.com. There are so many different forum topics including one specifically for general questions. VANA is THE place to get an honest and straightforward answer. Hope to see ya around the forum!

Hi Ruth! I love to meet others who have a heart for volunteering. Managing 40 volunteers – wow! That’s quite a feat.
Besides spending time at VANetworking.com (of course!) one of the best ways to prepare for a career in virtual assisting is to volunteer your skills for nonprofit organizations. They’re always in need of help, and it’s a great way to get testimonials for your new business.
