And what I do for my clients is so much more than the term virtual assistant seems to imply. While I enjoy being a member of the fast-growing community of VAs, I too have sought a designation that was a bit more precise. People are finally coming to realize that virtual assistants come in many flavors and do many things --- but the initial impression still is, I believe, that of a secretary or the requisite "go-fer" who mindlessly runs errors all day long. That definitely is not MY job. I love what I do and what I do is use my professional skills and experience to help people be successful at what THEY do. I hope your term catches on.
