I don't agree with the VACOC definition of VA. I think of them as an "old boys club".

I understand the history behind the virtual assistant industry and I respect that. But, I think the VA industry is morphing and I don't think there's anything any of us can do to stop it from happening.

It's like any other profession. Teaching used to be the domain of women only. Medicine used to be the domain of men only. Virtual Assistance is becoming the domain of those other than administrative.
