"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."

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. Just to summarize, what I'll receive...

 

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 my initial electronic membership packet of educational resources by providing me with a document in my shopping cart at checkout that contains the location URL and username/password to access it.  Once at the "membership educational resources download page," I can just right click on each educational resource link to save it to my personal computer (or open it there), and I can print the PDF file format products and start reading them in the next five minutes.

 

The document in my shopping cart at checkout also gives me the URL and username/password to access the "VAAP Private Member eLearning Community" -- the information accessible online to VAAP members only.

 

So altogether, my 12-month membership benefits include:

 
Membership Benefits Estimated Value (if items sold separately and you purchased them separately)
Access to the VAAP Private Member eLearning Community. unlimited value
The Effective Admin Tips Series (21 publications) $237
The Effective Admin In-Depth Special Report Series (5 publications) $95
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). $21
Archived issues of The Effective Admin newsletter (400+ articles) $80+
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). unlimited value
Access to any major 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 download them for my usage (including any printable or audio resources for members). unlimited value
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. unlimited savings
The right to tell others I am a member of VAAP (for individual memberships) or that I learn through VAAP participation and resources (for company memberships) . unlimited value
TOTAL VALUE $433+ (The + sign is because a price tag could not be put on the "unlimited value" items)
TOTAL PRICE YOU PAY TODAY

(first-year member pricing)

$197 per person

or

$995 per company

 

Altogether, today I'm getting 40+ educational publications with hundreds of pages of advice and tips specifically for administrative professionals in my VAAP electronic membership packet of educational resources. And there will be more information and resources coming during my 12-month membership. (In fact, there is already more information and publications posted at the member sites that's not even listed above in the "major" benefits of VAAP 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 ($197 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 ($995 rate), then as an individual I can and should certainly note on my resume and in my professional documents that I continuously learn through VAAP participation and resources.

 

OKAY,  I'm ready to invest in me! I'm ready 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:

Pay with Visa, MasterCard, or American Express

 

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

 

 (Note: Consecutive year individual renewals are only $32)

 

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: (per person membership price)

Pay in 4 payments of $49.25 each for first year of membership. Your second payment of $49.25 will process automatically on your credit card 30 days after your first payment. Your third payment will be automatically deducted 30 days later, and then your fourth and final install payment after another 30 days. You must make all four payments to retain your 2010 membership in VAAP -- this is not a subscription but rather an installment payment plan that totals the $197 cost of first-year membership in VAAP, so all four payments are required for membership over the 90-day payment period.
 

 

OPTION 4: (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.)

(Note: Consecutive year company renewals are only $640)

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 nonadministrative employees as you want to whenever you want to.

 

PREVENT ORDERING ERRORS by doing this:

Please make sure the street address and zip code you enter on the payment form in the shopping cart exactly matches the one you or your employer have on file with the issuer of the credit card you use. This is to avoid check out error messages (such as order declined) during the credit card address verification process that helps prevent fraudulent usage of your credit cards.

 

Therefore, you cannot enter a personal credit card number at checkout but then enter your workplace address, or vice versa. Your attempted credit card transaction at checkout won't pass the address verification service check when processing is attempted because the address/zip does not coincide with that credit card account. Your transaction will not complete if this happens, no matter how many times you try re-entering it. The credit card account must match the street address and zip code on file with your issuer for that card.

 

IT'S 100% SECURE:

The payment page with your transaction is secure and encrypted using advanced shopping cart Web/security technology. Such security compliance is required by the credit card companies in order for VAAP to offer credit card payment options. So rest assured your online transaction is 100% secure. Without this compliance, the credit card companies would not allow VAAP to accept and process credit cards.

 

YOUR RECEIPT AND ORDER IS COMING to your payment e-mail address:

You will get an electronic receipt and download instructions in your e-mail within minutes after payment. (If you don't see it in your inbox, check your junk/spam mail boxes.) The VAAP product download instructions may appear immediately in your Web browser too (if the payment page redirects to the download page after successfully completing your payment process). Download this membership document from your shopping cart within 24 hours, or preferably right away -- it only takes seconds to download it or print the document.

 

IMPORTANT: Add karen@albeepublishing.com to your e-mail safe sender list so your ISP's or employer's e-mail filters and spam filters don't prevent you from receiving any correspondence from VAAP. If you are using a work e-mail address and believe your employer will block receipt of your e-mail from VAAP at its company server level, then use your personal e-mail address (and put karen@albeepublishing.com on your safe sender list in your e-mail client, such as Microsoft Outlook).

 

PAYMENT(S) ON YOUR CREDIT/DEBIT CARD WILL APPEAR AS payments to:

Albee Publishing Company

That is the official business entity name of the company under which the Virtual Association for Administrative Professionals operates. Albee Publishing Company has an employer identification number on file with the IRS; please e-mail, write to the postal address, or fax your company's requests for a form W-9. That contact information is further below.

 

INVOICE NEEDED:

If you need an invoice to submit to your employer for payment approval (such as prior to placing your order), contact karen@albeepublishing.com. If you need proof of purchase for reimbursement, use your "receipt" (more information below on receipts).

 

ALTERNATE PAYMENT METHODS:

If you prefer to pay by check or credit card through postal mail (and not use the add to cart button above to receive your order instantly), contact karen@albeepublishing.com. You also can submit your order by credit card or by fax. These options are fine but your order will not be processed until those payment methods are processed; if you prefer instant access to the VAAP materials, pay with your credit or debit card online using the payment options 1, 2, 3, or 4 listed above. No orders are accepted by phone.

 

RECEIPT NEEDED:

Once you place your payment, the online shopping cart system will automatically and instantly e-mail you a receipt. If you need an additional receipt, please contact karen@albeepublishing.com. If you submit your order through the postal mail or by fax, then VAAP headquarters will send a receipt to your e-mail (along with your order) after your payment is processed; you do not need to request a receipt in that case.
