About us
Virtual Assistants Brunch (also knowns as VAB) is an exclusive membership based social club and was created to connect virtual assistants with each other in a more dedicated, intimate, and strategic way. VAB is a small network within the organization that is membership based. The application, review, and acceptance process is established to ensure we build a strong, vetted, friendly, and intimate network of virtual assistants who aim to support each other within the community professionally and personally.

What it means to be #vabulous
If something is so great you can hardly believe it, it is fabulous.
Fabulous things are mainly wonderful things. It's all in how you interpret your fabulous!
The word "Vabulous" is a combination of two words blending to create one word.
We took the V.A.B. (acronym for Virtual Assistants Brunch) and the word Fabulous (which we've already told you the meaning) dropped the F from Fabulous, added a V to create a new word for our "Vabulous" tribe!
Vabulous Babes are newbies to the VA industry by our definition. She wants to make a difference in her life as well as the lives of others, and just needs the guidance to figure out how. She knows she is fabulous and with a little bit of help, encouragement and support she will blossom into a Vabulous Woman.
A Vabulous Woman by our definition is a woman who is extraordinary and bold enough to go beyond what is expected of her. Her desire to see herself and others succeed allows her to share her journey in hopes she will educate and empower the community. Vabulous Women usually go on to become leaders in their industry. Most Virtual Assistants start off as Vabulous babes and grow to become Vabulous women!
All of the women in our community are #VABULOUS!
If you are a fabulous Virtual Assistant who loves to brunch, join us on the journey!
