I am honored to make the first nomination in this category, 'Most Helpful Member'.

I nominate Christina Nelson of Vital Office Solutions.

Christina's VAF Profile

Christina is a giving-person. She offers clear and precise WordPress instruction to VAF members. I often bookmark her WP posts to refer back at a later date. With Christina's patience and assistance last year, she helped me to appreciate WP on an entirely different level than I had understood before. She has gone so far as to offer extra help on a separate Q & A site entitled, Dear Christina which is also linked back here to VAF. There is not a WP question Christina can't answer...really!!

Good Luck, Christina!

I nominate Andrea Jackson from Action Jackson VA for the most helpful member. Not only does Andrea give great responses here on VAF, but she has also brought us 2 of her brain children. TVE is a great resource that is free to all and her school shows her commitment to the VA industry as a whole. You can view Andrea's VAF profile here.

Everyone on VAF is very helpful and I have learned so much from so many here that it really makes it hard to nominate just one. But that being the case I have to nominate Christina Nelson Christina's VAF Profile.

When I stumbled across VAF about a year ago, I had no clue about my website or how to fix what had already gone terribly wrong! I posted a thread on VAF asking for assistance and it was Christina to the rescue

Since that first communication Christina and I have become good friends and colleagues - she continues to not only help me but anyone who asks. She knows WordPress backwards and forwards and can get a site up and running in no time.

Christina owns and manages Vital Office Solutions (VOS) and Dear Christina where she gives WordPress help and advise to anyone who needs it.

I nominate Lee Drozak of My Office Assistant as most helpful member. I cannot count the number of times that I've gone to a new post and found an answer already there by Lee. Not only that, but they are thoughtful, helpful answers that highlight the high level of expertise and knowledge that Lee has. She never hesitates to share her information with new members and veteran members alike!
