<p>What began as a marketing and organizational support system for Realtors, has changed over time to accommodate the marketing needs of entrpreneurs, small businesses, speakers, coaches and internet marketers.   I want to extend gratitude to David and Ben (my husband and son), my family, friends and colleagues for the patience, faith, expertise and love.</p>
<p>It was seven years ago this month that I ventured outside my comfort zone (that&#8217;s where we find growth after all, right?), and traveled to Florida to attend my first IVAA Live Summit &#8211; my trade association&#8217;s annual conference.  WilsonVA was barely 2 weeks old when I was hob-knobbing with my industry&#8217;s leaders and soaking up their energy.  I learned the importance of networking &#8211; especially with my &#8220;competitors&#8221; &#8211; to create lasting bonds of support and I vowed never to miss an IVAA Live Summit again.</p>
<p>Today I send special greetings to my clients &#8211; especially those who&#8217;ve been with me since day 1 &#8211; for your continued support.  Without you, there would be no WilsonVA.</p>
<p>Thank you, thank you, thank you!</p>

<p>Here was the message as announced on our listserv this morning:</p>
<p>&#8220;Please join me with a hearty round of applause for Carla Wilson, who<br />
passed the <a href="http://www.ivaa.org/search/search.asp?bst=&amp;cdlGroupID=62956&amp;txt_country=&amp;txt_statelist=&amp;txt_state=&amp;ERR_LS_20100707_154701_17914=txt_state|Location|20|0||0">IVAA Certified Virtual Assistant</a> examination with flying  colors</p>
<p>&#8230;This designation is the industry standard for excellence. It is no small<br />
accomplishment to have passed the CVA examination, which tests VAs at an advanced level as opposed to core competencies. The IVAA CVA examination is the only VA examination-format certification that tests a VA in many areas of a VA practice.&#8221;</p>
<p>I am one of currently only 18 other colleagues to have earned the CVA.   I feel that earning the Certified Virtual Assistant designation illustrates my commitment to my business and my industry.  I&#8217;m so proud of this accomplishment!</p>
