ever Virtual Open House.

Press Release Body = Baltimore, MD, March 8, 2007: Alliance for Virtual Businesses
(A4VB), a collaborative teaming of virtual professionals and virtual assistant
organizations dedicated to educating the global business community about the virtual
assistance industry, announces its first ever Virtual Open House. The event marks
the unveiling of the group's new Web site and takes place on March 21, 2007 at 7
p.m. (EST, NY).

This is not your typical open house. Participants attend from the comfort of their
own home - some even in their pajamas - all with a click of a computer mouse. The
agenda for the hour long event is jam packed and includes a mystery guest speaker, a
virtual tour of the new Web site, networking opportunities, prizes and virtual
refreshments.

"This will be a very special day for everyone involved in the VA industry because
the Alliance is the one-stop information portal to VA associations, training and
coaching programs, networking, industry news, and the annual Online International
Virtual Assistants Convention (OIVAC)." says Alliance for Virtual Businesses founder
Sharon Williams.

Virtual Assistants or VAs are independent entrepreneurs who work remotely and use
the latest technology to deliver professional administrative, creative, managerial,
technical, business back-office and/or personal support services to busy clients.

Since 1996 more than 15,000 professionals around the world have become VAs. More
than 90 percent of them are highly-skilled working mothers who choose to start their
own businesses in order to achieve a better work/life balance. According to a study
conducted by Brenner Books in conjunction with A4VB in 2004, the United States
accounts for the largest number of VAs followed by Canada, Australia and Great
Britain.
