Press Release Summary: Australian business owner Kylie Short of Tilda Virtual Services has been nominated for the Janet Jordan Achievement Award. The award honors a newcomer Virtual Assistant who has been in business for less than 5 years and has reached a milestone in their short career in the industry.
Press Release Body: BATHURST NSW, Australia – Tilda Virtual Services (TVS) is celebrating two years in business on May 15th 2008. That day also marks the beginning of this year’s Online International Virtual Assistant Convention (OIVAC). The convention spans three days and includes industry speakers, an international virtual assistants day celebration (IVAD) and the announcement of the winners of two prestigious awards.
Australian business owner Kylie Short, of Tilda Virtual Services has been nominated for one of those awards – the Janet Jordan Achievement Award. According to the OIVAC Web site the award honors a newcomer Virtual Assistant who has been in business for less than 5 years and has reached a milestone in their short career in the industry. This milestone needs to be an accomplishment that has helped to boost their new business to an overwhelming success.
Janet Jordan, who died in 2006, was a recognized industry leader in the virtual assistance field. Mrs. Jordan’s virtual assisting career began in 1980, long before the term “Virtual Assistant” was coined. Along with running her private VA practices which included clients who spanned the globe, Mrs. Jordan also trained aspiring entrepreneurs to launch their own up-to-the-minute, compelling and relevant virtual assistant practices through Virtual Assistance U. She created future leaders in the VA industry.
“I feel extremely honoured to have been nominated,” says Short. “I’m humbled that someone would want to recognise my business and my efforts in this way.” Why wouldn’t they? In just under two short (no pun intended) years, her business has exploded. She’s hired associates around the globe to help her meet the demands of her clients. “I wasn’t surprised to learn Kylie had been nominated,” says Laurie Dart, owner of Writing Wisely and TVS Associate. “Her business has been growing steadily for the past year and really is a model of success.”
The winner of the award will be announced at this year’s IVAD celebration, Friday May 16. Visit the Web site for more information.
