<p>A Virtual Assistant (VA) is an independent entrepreneur providing administrative, creative and/or technical services. Utilizing advanced technological modes of communication and data delivery, a professional VA assists clients in her area of expertise from her own office on a contractual basis.</p>
<p>As a small business owner you may have contemplated hiring support for your office. But the true costs of hiring on-site administrative support personnel can be overwhelming. Reduce your overhead by eliminating the following expenses:</p>
<p>* Wages &amp; Salary<br />
* Paid Leave<br />
* Insurance<br />
* Retirement &amp; Savings<br />
* Legally Required Benefits<br />
* Office Space<br />
* Office Equipment</p>
<p>Partnering with Eco-Office Gals allows you to reduce stress, protect your cash flow and it will help you eliminate those administrative duties.  With Eco-Office Gals you will also be doing your part to protect the environment by utilizing paperless and earth friendly options for your small business.</p>
<p>Eco-Office Gals is available to you on a short or long term basis, either part time or full time.  I offer a wide scope of services to suit your business needs.</p>
<h2>What makes me green?</h2>
<p>Some Virtual Assistants will say that being green comes with the business. The main claim being they work from their home rather then driving to the office everyday.  Saving gas, office space, etc. I can’t disagree.  I worked 35 miles from my house for 5 years, I spent my share of time idling in traffic during rush hour and occupying space to make my living as an Administrative Assistant, making barely enough to pay for daycare and another weeks worth of gas. I’m glad that these green factors came naturally with my decision to start <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Eco-Office Gals</span>.</p>
<p>However, for many <span class="blsp-spelling-error">VA’s</span> what come with the territory grows no further.  Eco-Office Gals strives to not only provide your small business with your administrative needs, but I am always looking for the best ways to make us all a little greener.  I try to give your small business <span class="blsp-spelling-error">eco</span>-alternatives to everyday administrative needs. I try to encourage electronic communications, e-signed contracts, and other earth friendly alternatives.<br />
As I grow green I share my finding through <a href="http://eco-officegals.com/" target="_blank">Eco-Office Gals</a>… why keep it all to myself?  I encourage others to share with me as I share with others.  If it’s time for your small business to start making green steps, let me join you for the journey.</div>

<p><em>To provide Eco-Friendly and Paperless Virtual Assistant Services, WordPress Design and resources for businesses interested in making a lighter environmental Impact.</em></p>
<p>Eco-Office Gals strives to build businesses green and paperless.  Our blog site compiles information about sites and products that we find safe and useful for our environment.

<h3>Eco-Gal Jen:</h3>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/ecoofficegals" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://i311.photobucket.com/albums/kk466/EcoOfficeGals/linkedin.png" alt="linkedin About" width="60" height="60" border="0" title="About" /></a></p>
<p>Jennifer brings 10 years of real-world Administrative experience to your business venture.</p>
<p>From 1997 &#8211; 2002 Jennifer worked in the private sector at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.oxbow.com/" target="_blank">Oxbow Corporation</a> in West Palm Beach, Fl.  For 5 years she provided support to 30+ employees of the Finance Department at Oxbow including, but not limited to document production, call screening, data entry, and file organization.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://eco-officegals.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/jen09.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1157" title="jen09" src="http://eco-officegals.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/jen09.jpg" alt="jen09 About" width="144" height="144" /></a>Life events caused her to move to Greenville, SC. She spent the next 5 years (2002 &#8211; 2007) employed in the public sector as the Administrative Assistant to the OMB Director of the <a href="http://www.greatergreenville.com/" target="_blank">City of Greenville</a>.  At the City she provided support to the OMB Director, OMB Assistant Director, Risk Manager, Budget Director and Accounting Department.  During her final year at the City she also re-designed and maintained the City&#8217;s Intranet, resulting in receipt of the City&#8217;s Innovation Award and a new found love of website design.</p>
<p>After a decade of unloved jobs, Criminal Justice, Literature and Teaching credits, Jennifer still couldn&#8217;t figure out what she wanted to do when she grew up. When nothing seemed to fit right, she figured out she&#8217;d take all the skills she had learned and loved to do and figure out how to make it work. Love of design, learning and teaching &#8211; frustration of wasted paper and discovery of the VA wold started the steady growth of what is today Eco-Office Gals.</p>
<h4>Awards &amp; Accomplishments:</h4>
<ul>
<li>City of Greenville Innovation Award &#8211; Voluntarily transformed the City&#8217;s outdated Intranet into a more user-friendly, engaging, interactive and reliable tool for internal communications.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Provided Leadership in the City&#8217;s United Way Campaign; served one year as City&#8217;s Campaign Coordinator.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Participated in special project committees, such as Employee Recognition &amp; Awards Program, Christmas Float Committee, Accommodations Tax Committee and Affordable Housing Committee.</li>
