Don't ask, "Why should I invest in VAAP?" Instead
ask, "Why should I invest in myself?" That's the real question.
"Today, you are not investing in the VAAP or in an
association membership. You are investing in yourself: your
continuous growth in your administrative professional career, your
knowledge expansion, your success. When you realize and accept that
mindset, you've grown further in your administrative professional
career. It's about you!"
--Karen Porter, VAAP Founder and President
Are you ready to join the Virtual Association for Administrative Professionals
(VAAP)?
√YES,
I'm choosing one of the
payment options below to join and give me INSTANT ACCESS to all the
information provided to members of the
Virtual Association for Administrative Professionals.
A recap of that information and VAAP benefits is below.
√ I understand that VAAP is an all virtual
association and so I will receive electronic publications and resources. Some of that educational information is in downloadable file links (PDF and MP3 file formats).
Some of that educational information is not downloadable but rather it's
accessible online to VAAP members only.
You will tell me where to access all of the VAAP
educational resources included in my membership by providing me
with a document in my shopping cart at checkout that contains the locations
(URLs) and username/password to access them.
So altogether, my 12-month membership benefits include
all of this:
| Membership Benefits |
|
√
1.
Access to the VAAP Private Member eLearning
Community (a members only online area with educational information and
resources) |
|
√
2.
The Effective Admin Tips Series
(22 downloadable publications + supplemental material included) |
|
√
3.
The Effective Admin In-Depth Special Report
Series (eight downloadable publications) |
|
√
4.
A subscription to current
issues of The Effective Admin
newsletter, an eight-page electronic publication of the VAAP, throughout my 12 month VAAP membership (including my first issue
which is already at the "membership educational resources download page" waiting for me). |
|
√
5.
Archived issues of The Effective Admin newsletter (500+
articles) |
|
√
6. A downloadable and printable
VAAP membership certificate with my name on it (e-mailed to me within the
first seven days of membership; for individual rate memberships
only, not company rate memberships). |
|
√
7. Access to any new digital products
added to the VAAP membership benefits over the next 12 months. You will
alert me by e-mail so I can access them and/or download them for my usage
(including any printable or audio resources for members).
|
|
√
8.
An option to
renew my VAAP membership at the end of 12
months at a significant discount off the first-year membership rate.
You'll send a renewal notice to my e-mail at that time. |
|
√ 9.
The right to tell others I
am a member of VAAP (for individual memberships) or that I learn
through VAAP participation and resources (for participants of company memberships) . |
√ Altogether, today I'm getting
more than
50
educational publications with hundreds of pages of advice and tips specifically for administrative
professionals when I join VAAP. And there will be more information and
resources coming during my 12-month membership. These resources contain strategies and tips that can
make me a better administrative professional and assist me with both my
daily job performance and my administrative professional career.
√
Once I'm a paid current
individual
member (at the individual rate), I have the right to let others know -- including current and
prospective employers -- that I am a member of VAAP, proactively pursuing
continuous learning, news and trends for and about my administrative professional
role. If my company becomes a member (at the company rate), I still
can note on my resume and in my professional documents
that I continuously learn through VAAP participation and resources.
Okay, okay...I'm interested in joining
VAAP. So what's it going to cost me?
I'm glad you asked. I've got good news for you about VAAP membership cost.
If you're an individual who is just enrolling one person -- yourself -- to
be a member, your first-year membership rate averages out to be just $0.54
per day.
|
YOUR COST: just 54 Cents per day
|
I
know it's starting to sound like a cliché to say this, but I'll say it
anyway: You really can invest in some great educational resources for
your professional development and administrative training for less
than you'd pay for a cup of coffee each day.
 Or a soda...or an item out
of the snack machine at work.
Believe me, I worked for
decades on site in companies, so I know the cost of those things and
how quick we are to throw a little change here and there every day,
investing in impulse purchases that do nothing for us long-term. So
I'm super pleased to be able to offer you such a great value as VAAP
membership for a few quarters per day. You'll see the
"individual" membership payment option further below on this
page.
And if you're a "company"
that wants to join so all of your administrative employees have access
to the VAAP educational resources, your first-year membership rate is
a little higher than that -- but still quite a bargain if you have a
bunch of administrative professionals in your company or organization
that will benefit from VAAP resources.
So, are you ready to get on
with things? Let's go...
OKAY,
I've heard enough, and I'm
ready to invest in me! I'm ready now
to choose one of the risk-free options below to become
a member of the
Virtual Association for Administrative Professionals so I can keep adding to my knowledge base as an admin
(and tell everyone that I'm a member of VAAP):
Make payments with:
Choose just one option from below:
OPTION 1:
(per person membership price)
Pay in full at the per person price of $197.00 for first year of
membership
OPTION 2:
(per person membership
price)
Pay in 2 payments of $98.50 each for first year of membership. (Your
second payment will process automatically on your credit card 14 days after
your first payment.)
OPTION 3:
(for company memberships)
Pay in full at the per company price of $995.00 for first year of
membership. (This is for companies that want the legal right to
distribute the VAAP membership educational publications to all of their
employees.)
When you join VAAP at the company level on behalf of all your administrative
professionals in your company, you pay the one flat rate above for first-year
membership and that makes your company the member; you can then make
copies and distribute all of the educational materials included in the
electronic membership packet to as many of your company administrative or
non-administrative employees as you want
to whenever you want to.
PAYMENT(S) ON YOUR CREDIT/DEBIT CARD WILL
APPEAR AS payments to:
Albee Publishing Company
which owns and operates Virtual Association for Administrative Professionals
and The Effective Admin

 "I am grateful for your site. It has changed my life.
Dear Karen,
I just can’t put into words how much your site means to me. I
use the tools every day. I had reached a point in my job where I
was being given multiple projects without clear direction. After several weeks
of struggling daily with not only managing my projects but trying to overcome
the feeling of carrying a 1000 lb. pack on my back, I had come to my wits end;
something had to change and it had to be immediately. I decided to do a search
for any help out there for administrative assistants.
Your site was the first one I came across. As I began reading a few pages I
was captivated and the rest was history. I immediately felt a huge sense of
relief and calm, finally the answers and direction I had been asking for. You
see, when I started out in the work world, being an administrative assistant was
never the top of my list. I didn’t feel I had the personality for it, and the
ones I knew were always so busy and hurried that I didn’t want that for me.
Well, 30 years later here I am. If I could give you the feeling finding this
site has meant to me. It has helped me to own my job and want a career, not just a
job, and to continue to learn how to do all the things that an administrative
professional does.
The fact that there is an association that provides assistance to ones like
myself who have struggled over the years trying to do things people assume you
automatically know how to do is in itself, PRICELESS."
With deep appreciation,
Leslie R Tiongison
Administrative Assistant
Washington, DC |
 "Karen,
you have been supplying each of us in the administrative support roles since
2004 with exactly what we needed to make our success possible.
Some of the things written were simple ideas and things that we already knew
but refreshed what's often forgotten.
I appreciate the organizational tips that I hadn’t
thought of that are especially useful while supporting multiple executives.
Your publications have become a reference book for my top drawer! I especially
enjoy the spelling and grammar refreshers that we may have forgotten since
school.
I appreciate your willingness to share your
knowledge and personal time given in each of your publications. Your passion
to share and mentor those in our field is evident and very much appreciated.
Even as I am in career transition, I will remain a TEA/VAAP member to maintain
that competitive edge and continue to learn best practices.”
With the utmost admiration and gratitude,
Dawn Hill
Executive Assistant

"Hello Karen, I am so excited to be a member of the VAAP.
It is an honor to be a part of any program you initiate. My membership is one
of which I am personally doing (not the company), and I feel great about that
because it benefits my personal growth as well as the company.
I have benefited not only from The Effective Admin
newsletters but your being there when I needed another voice ... whereby in
many cases your insight helped me set the record straight for myself. I am so
grateful you took time out from your busy schedule to respond back to me.
I remember back in March, I was placed under new management
after 20 or so years of working with the same group of people and you helped
me manage to stay on track by your words of wisdom. Also, if you remember, I
am the admin who is over 60 years old and was laid off from a large energy
company last year and was offered a position the same day as the termination
date. Most of my colleagues were saying how difficult it would be for someone
my age to find a job...not if you believe in yourself and continue the path.
I am where I should be on this leg of my career...amazing how
things work out....since joining this company almost one year ago, you again
were instrumental in helping me get on track with working in a new field.
Karen, please stand and take a bow for I believe you have been a 'SHINING
STAR' in so many of our lives. Definitely in mine!"
Thank you,
Dora Cranford
