CENTENNIAL, Colo., May 29 /PRNewswire/ -- The virtual assistant industry finally received its day of recognition with a segment on the NBC Today Show. Karen Reddick is a Virtual Assistant (VA) who helps small businesses successfully run their businesses virtually from her home office. When an NBC correspondent got wind that there was such a business, they became intrigued and decided to pursue the story. NBC flew to Reddick's home office in Centennial to film a typical day at the office. They also set up a crew at one of Reddick's client's office 850 miles away in the St. Louis area to show how easy and efficient working with a VA can be. The piece aired Thursday May 24th. A link to the video can be found at http://video.msn.com/v/us/msnbc.htm?g=fda5aec6-5250-43c2-936f- dfac1ec2033d&f=00&fg= (You may need to copy and paste this link into your browser).

Reddick, owner of V-And-E Services, is a former executive assistant and originally conceived the idea for her business in October 2001 immediately following 9/11. Starting her new career was her way to put family first and be home for her then pre-teenage daughter. Reddick helps clients by working remotely and uses the latest technology to deliver creative administrative support and technical business services to busy professionals. Projects are often handled over the phone, by fax, e-mail and instant messaging.

"I think this industry will just continue to grow," Reddick adds. "This used to seem like a radical concept; and now hopefully with this national recognition it will allow other business owners to realize how using a Virtual Assistant can streamline their administrative tasks and save them time and money."

As proof of the industry's growth, Diana Ennen of Virtual Word Publishing http://www.virtualwordpublishing.com/ recently landed an interview in Reader's Digest, where she was able to spread the news of the Virtual Assistant Industry. The article talks about making money while working at home, stating "If you possess word processing, transcription, bookkeeping, public relations, or website design skills, you may want to try employment as a virtual assistant."
