We believe that talent - like ideas - is everywhere. It's not locked up behind agency walls and it doesn't require a traditional structure to produce uncommon results. Our philosophy results in high quality materials - and value - for our customers. Pam exemplifies our philosophy in everything she does, and we couldn't be happier to have her on our team."

Ms. Keith received her B.S. degree in Business, majoring in Administrative Systems, from Indiana University -- Bloomington in 1976 and earned the Certified Professional Secretary© rating in 1982. She participated in an intensive training program through Assist University, the leader in professional training for Virtual Assistants and graduated in 2006. Pam and her husband Bill reside in the Indianapolis, Indiana, area. She is a member of eWomenNetwork, Business Networking International, and her local chamber of commerce. Pam is a member of a local United Methodist Church where she is a soprano soloist in their choir.

Ms. Keith said, "I welcome the opportunity to go forward with Small Business Mavericks and help small business owners learn to market their brick-and-mortar businesses on the Internet. Small Business Mavericks is growing fast, and it's an exciting time to be a part of this growing team in an exciting industry, helping small business owners succeed!"

More Employers Embracing the Concept of Telecommuting
Just a few short years ago, telecommuting was a rare benefit for a select few. Employers were reluctant to give up the belief that employees needed watching, and that working from home really meant a day of watching soap operas, devouring chocolates, and catching up on the laundry. The traditional 9-to-5 in the office was the accepted standard for assuring that employees were where they were supposed to be and doing what they were supposed to do. For most, proof of productivity was measured by hours in the office, rather than by results.
