Blaine, WA, January 20, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Tawnya Sutherland, founder of VANetworking.com honored one of her forum’s members last month with the title of “VAccolade Business Entrepreneur of the Year”.
The VAccolade Business Entrepreneur Award is presented to a different member of VANetworking.com, (‘VANA’ to its members) each week. To qualify for this distinction, a VA must be nominated by a peer and meet the following criteria: the VA must be an important contributor to the forum, show business savvy and good judgment, have a strong USP, and uphold VANA ethics. Their website must demonstrate: solid copywriting, excellent design, search engine friendliness, usability and original content.
Patty Dost, owner of Time is of the Escents, was selected from all of 2007’s weekly winners of the ‘VAccolade’ as the Entrepreneur of the Year. Ms. Dost has been involved with VANetworking.com (VANA to its members) for 2 years, as a member, volunteer and VA (virtual assistant) to Ms. Sutherland.
“She is the one behind the scenes keeping VANA running smoothly and in focus so that all virtual assistants worldwide have a comfortable and friendly place to network online,” commented Sutherland. She went on to say, “Patty is always there for us answering questions at the forum from ‘how to post your avatars’ to ‘finding out your password when it's forgotten’. She contributes in so many ways to VANA that I cannot even begin to list them. Without Patty, VANA would not be the wonderful resource it is to so many VAs worldwide. We should all be tipping our VA hats off to Patty Dost, the VA who helps keep over 7,700 members informed about the VA industry today.”

The VANA forum theme states, “Hey, Hey, The VA Gang’s All Here,” and they are. Supporting one another and working hard to promote the Virtual Assistant Industry.
