I have some exciting new I wanted to share: I am the 2018-2019 President of our Georgia chapter of NAPO (National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals).

I’ve been a member of NAPO for over 8 years and the last two have been serving on the board as Director of Professional Development. Being elected president is truly and honor.

Since many people don’t know what an organizer is, much less that we have an association, I thought this would be the perfect time to tell you a little bit about what we are as a group.

The National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals™ (NAPO®) was started in 1983 and has approximately 3,500 members (75 in Georgia) dedicated to helping people and organizations bring order and efficiency to their lives. NAPO’s mission is to be the leading source for organizing and productivity professionals by providing exceptional education, enhancing business connections, advancing industry research, and increasing public awareness.

NAPO defines Professional Organizer and Productivity Consultant as follows:
A Professional Organizer supports evaluation, decision-making, and action around objects, space, and data; helping clients achieve desired outcomes regarding function, order, and clarity.

A Productivity Consultant supports evaluation, decision-making, and action around time, energy, and resources; helping clients achieve desired outcomes regarding goals, effectiveness, and priorities.

In our Georgia chapter, we meet every month to get educational information from our peers and outside speakers. We learn about everything from how to run a more successful business to helping our clients with their needs like OCD, hoarding, grief, moving, selling their items and more.
