I am thrilled to be helping with it!!<\/p>\n<p>Homecoming is something I have looked forward to since joining the AssistU Community as a VA in 2011. Each year in September, we get together to learn and grow, build relationships and love on one another, and celebrate the Community Recognition Awards, or CRAs.<\/p>\n<p>The event usually travels from coast to coast: 2011, San Diego, CA; 2012, Minneapolis, MN; in Baltimore, MD for 2013 and 2014, then in Dearborn, MI (the event I helped host) in 2015. This year we will be experiencing\u00a0Reston, VA, and will even take a jaunt down to Washington DC!<\/p>\n<p>One of the things I love most about Homecoming is catching up with the people I have forged relationships with in our community. Sometimes it is the only time we see one another face to face. It&#8217;s a joy being involved with some of them and to work closely with them throughout the year&#8230; but when we get to be truly together, magic happens.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3074\" src=\"https:\/\/amyhood.biz\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016_nom-va.gif\" alt=\"2016 AssistU VA of the Year nomination\" width=\"139\" height=\"226\" \/>Las<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3075 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/amyhood.biz\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016_nom-supportive.gif\" alt=\"2016 AssistU Most Supportive Community Member nomination\" width=\"139\" height=\"226\" \/>t week, I was humbled to learn that I was nominated once again for AssistU VA of the Year and Most Supportive Community Member. In 2013 and 2014, I was not only blessed by nominations from my peers, but I also was awarded the VA of the Year honor. And, in 2015, I was honored with the designation as the Most Supportive Community Member. These were major experiences for me, and I do not take the honor or accolades lightly. What can be more flattering than to be recognized by peers and colleagues?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m so grateful to anyone who thinks I\u2019m once again worthy of the awards, and the clients and friends who help make it possible to do what I do every day! It truly is a gift to be on the ballot again for 2016, especially with VA s that I hold in such high esteem myself.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/assistu.com\/client\/va_certified.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AssistU VAs<\/a> are professionals who have completed a rigorous 20-week training program and uphold a stringent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workwithava.com\/ethics-pledge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Code of Ethics<\/a>, providing business support services in a global, virtual environment.

This is a huge honor for me and one that I hope to continue to be worthy of day in and day out in my quest to truly support my clients and their businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, AssistU community, for my nominations for awards within our community.
