Foundations for the Future, an earlier blog post about Vacommentators told how the mission team works to promote VAnetworking.com and the network of virtual assistant members.
During a period of very active growing activity, since October of 2008, we’ve been lead by Ruth Martin of Maplewood Virtual Assistance who is also very active in the forums at VAcommentators. Being leader is more than getting to march at the head of the line. Every week, volunteer commenters send links to their posts, comments, updates and tweets to Ruth for validation as we compete for getting the MOST action, not just being average, good enough or adequate.
In May, the leadership will be changing to another member of the Commentators. Michelle Colvin, of MLC Business Solutions will be taking up the baton and moving forward. In volunteer groups, it is always good for more people to try the leadership positions. We never know when lives will change and the great leaders will need to focus on other areas. Being virtual isn’t as impacted by moving away from a location. Adding more clients, taking on training, changing volunteer positions are all ways that virtual volunteers see change in their lives that is significant to the volunteer activities.
