With over 25 years experience in the secretarial field and over 20 years as a Virtual Assistant, you can be assured that you are in very capable hands with AKA Virtual PA. Anita Kilkenny, owner of AKA Virtual PA, is located in Aspendale, Victoria, Australia, however due to state-of-the-art technology and the ability to communicate with clients all over the world, location is not an issue. Overseas
clients benefit from work being done whilst they are asleep. Anita was an active committee member of the Australian Institute of Office Professionals (AIOP) for nearly 10 years, taking on roles such as Finance Officer (3 years), Office Professionals’ Day Breakfast Convenor (3 years) Newsletter Editor (3.5 years), Vice President and Webmaster. In 2005, Anita was invited to serve on the organising Steering Committee for the Online International Virtual Assistants Conference (OIVAC) to assist with the website and registrations and was also involved in establishing International Virtual Assistant’s Day (and who coined the phrase) which is now celebrated annually on the third Friday of May. Anita served on the committee for 4 Conventions. In 2010, Anita co-organised the inaugural Australian Virtual Assistant Conference with Kathie Thomas from A Clayton’s Secretary and a wonderful support committee of fellow VAs, which was held on 12 and 13 March 2010. The two day event was an amazing success. The subsequent two conferences met with the same success and is now a regular event on the VA yearly calendar. The 2013 Conference was held on 22 and 23 March in Sydney and in 2014, it was held in Brisbane. 2015 will see the return of AVAC to Melbourne at Docklands. Anita is also the co-founder and Vice President of the Australian Virtual Assistants Association. www.avaa.asn.au
