Why Join NAPO

Increase your knowledge, enhance your business and build your personal & professional networks in a supportive environment!

Joining NAPO National and our local Austin chapter allows you to exchange ideas with other organizers, both locally and around the country.
Membership adds to your credibility as a professional in this field.
Your business will be listed on our Find An Organizer page, along with our members from all over Central Texas.
You'll gain access to a vast library of training resources focused on improving your organizing skills, supporting clients and growing your business.

Getting involved in a volunteer position with NAPO and/or NAPO Austin is also a great way to invest in your profession and contribute your skills and abilities to the programs and initiatives of the organization.

What happens at NAPO Austin meetings?

In addition to conducting chapter business, monthly chapter meetings provide networking and educational opportunities for our members. While we do follow a meeting agenda, you are welcome to ask questions about NAPO from the Membership Director or any Chapter Officer during networking periods at the beginning and end of the meeting, and of course you are welcome to participate in the question / answer period of our program if you wish. Chapter members are friendly and typically willing to answer general questions as well. However, please note that NAPO policy prevents members from discussing their businesses' organizing service fees and rates at chapter events.

Chapter Meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of the month from 6:15 pm to 8:30 pm. (We are currently meeting virtually, via Zoom)
Non-member guests are welcome to attend up to three meetings a year, at a fee of $25.00 per meeting to be paid at registration.
We also hold more casual coffee gatherings each month, if you are unable to make it to a meeting.

Be sure to visit our Event Listing for a complete schedule and register for any event you'd like to attend.
