Did you know that the Online International Virtual Assistants Convention (OIVAC)
launched 13 years ago, in celebration of the International Virtual Assistants Day
(IVAD)? It was founded by one of the pillars in the Virtual Assistant industry, Sharon
Williams, president of The24HourSecretary, 27 years in the business.

Sharon is a very dedicated entrepreneur who had a novel vision of Virtual Assistants
participating in a unified and educational activity, regardless of location, online.
Some may have thought it impossible to happen at that time, but because of her
determination and network in the international VA community, she was able to launch
the first OIVAC in 2005.

OIVAC is the proud sponsor of International Virtual Assistants Day (IVAD) — a
celebration of the Dedication, Experience, Expertise and Determination to Succeed
(DEEDS) of all practicing VAs. This industry-wide commemoration will be held Friday,
May 18, 2018 as part of the Convention activities.

The event aims to educate, mentor and share within the global VA community which
may also open unlimited business opportunities for online entrepreneurs as we
showcase our ability to use technology in operating, building and growing online
businesses.

Online enthusiasts, new and aspiring VAs, as well as the veterans in the online
business industry, along with clients, small businesses, corporate supporters,
associates and interested visitors are invited to join.

Melissa St. Clair, owner of Paper Chaser is proud to be on the speaker panel this year.
