Mount Laurel, NJ, December 19, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) sponsors its fourth annual Get Organized Month(SM) in January 2008.

“January is the perfect month to get organized and start your new year off right,” says NAPO President Standolyn Robertson. “Getting organized is one of the top 5 New Year’s resolutions people make and with over 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(SM) ever with 12 industry partners and a nationwide radio campaign. NAPO members will help over 10,000 people get organized during this month-long event.”

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.
