NAPO's Get Organized Month 2007 Biggest and Best Yet
Glenview, IL, December 07, 2006 --(PR.com)-- The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) sponsors its third annual Get Organized Month in January 2007. Get Organized Month is a national industry-wide event dedicated to raising awareness of the benefits of getting organized and of hiring a professional organizer.
“January is the perfect month to get organized and start your new year off right,” says NAPO President Barry Izsak. “Getting organized is one of the top 5 New Year’s resolutions people make and with almost 4,000 NAPO members ready and available to assist, it is easier than most people think. NAPO is gearing up for our largest Get Organized Month ever with 11 industry partners and a nationwide radio campaign. NAPO members will help over 10,000 people get organized during this month-long event.”
NAPO’s dozens of chapters and thousands of members will hold public events throughout the country. Look for Get Organized Month events in your community including reuse-and-recycle events, volunteer organizing events, vendor showcases and expos, shred-a-thons, seminars, panels, presentations, workshops, school outreach, and contests. Programming will take place in local libraries, bookstores, and community centers.

What is a professional organizer?
A professional organizer enhances the lives of clients by designing systems and processes using organizing principles and through transferring organizing skills. A professional organizer also educates the public on organizing solutions and the resulting benefits. Professional organizers help individuals and businesses take control of their surroundings, their time, their paper, and their systems for life.
