Virtual, Inc. Adds Two to Training & Certification Team


Virtual, Inc. (http://www.virtualmgmt.com), the leading technology-focused association management company, has hired two additional people in its training and certification area, to participate in developing and delivering programs on behalf of Virtual clients.

Virtual provides training and certification administration for several of its clients -- with experience in both starting new certification programs and managing existing ones.

Her background also includes positions in the Lexington Public SchoolSystem, at Vicor Corporation and at Tektronix Corporation. She has a Bachelor's degree in psychology from Westfield State University and a Master of Science degree in business from Lesley University.
