Everyone loves a little drama! Sticky Situations might be your guilty pleasure. Hopefully they aren’t as sticky as the ones the AI-generated image shows. I hope this image is good for a laugh.
Our next NAPO-GPC monthly meeting will be on June 19, 2025 via Zoom. Members will receive their meeting link via email. Guests are encouraged to attend by registering here.
5 pm networking/schmooz-a-rama, new & prospective member Q&A
5:30 pm official start, chapter updates
7 pm meeting wrap
Sticky Situations are moments with clients when our ethics, best business practices, knowledge and experience are challenged. New and veteran organizers alike face these. Sharing them with colleagues can be enlightening. Just like reality TV, discussing sticky situations gives us a chance to get a little dramatic (but in a safe way).
Zoom meeting breakout discussions on each Sticky Situation selected will let us get down and dirty and get to know each other professionally.
Our meeting date falls on Juneteenth, so please check your schedule. Maybe figuring out how to honor a new federal holiday feels like a sticky situation to you? Come join us, as we figure it out together.
Save the date: Our next in person event is our summer picnic taking place on July 17, 2025. Members will receive details in email. Click here to join now.
NAPO-GPC is thrilled to welcome Julie Morgenstern back home to the Philly area!
A renowned organizing and productivity expert, author, and speaker, Julie returns to present “Becoming the Go-To Expert From the Inside Out” on Thursday, May 15, at the Sheraton Valley Forge King of Prussia, 480 N. Gulph Rd. in King of Prussia. Doors open at 2:30 p.m., with the program to start at 3 p.m. Please note that this meeting is in-person only; there will be no recordings.
Through her presentation, Julie shares the strategies she used to establish her brand as one of the most respected in her industry and grow her small business from an idea – born in a corner of her living room – to an international enterprise. Audience members learn how to position themselves as experts, target a core client base, cultivate relationships with the media, leverage the authenticity of their brands, and develop systems to manage time, space and content to maintain a competitive edge and generate revenue.
Cost is $50 for non-NAPO members and includes light refreshments. The cost for GPC members, however, is free, but you must use the special code that we are sharing through our channels only when registering to get the free entry.
NAPO members earn 1.5 CEUs through their participation in this event. While there will be no book sales at the event, you’re welcome to bring a copy of one of Julie’s books and ask her to sign it for you.
Any professional in business for themselves, whether startup or veteran, will find value in this engaging presentation, which includes a Q&A session. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from the best and take your career to the next level!

Our chapter was chosen by NAPO National to be the NAPO Chapter Spotlight on the members-only portion of its website for June 2023. Tom Harper, our newly inducted Board President, had the pleasure of sharing more about GPC, and this is what he shared:
Here to share about NAPO Greater Philadelphia is current President @Tom Harper!
Tell us about yourself: “I am the newly inducted president of NAPO-GPC, after serving as our chapter’s Director of Professional Development. I ran unopposed. It’s either because I impressed everyone with my amazing lack of experience, or because I missed a meeting and was justly “voluntold”; I’m not sure which. I think I’ll stick around, though, given the great people and, of course, the wonderful perks (e.g., no one else can read the anti-trust policy but me).”
What makes your chapter special? “Well, it could be the fact that we fully support one another professionally and personally, without any hint of ego or competitiveness. Then again, it could be the familial bonds that have been developed among all members, both veteran and new. Or it could be that we have the kindest, hardest-working, most caring, and best-looking members around. I’ll say all of the above.”
Are there any star volunteers you’d like to shine a light on? “I could pick any one of the nearly 50 chapter members we have, quite frankly, because they are all stars in their own right. Actually, I’m defying convention and picking the entire chapter (and not just to be self-serving because I could use a couple more stars on our Board). I’m a die-hard sports fan, and I believe it takes a full team effort to make any success happen. The Greater Philadelphia Chapter is successful because of its truly special, very dedicated members who want to see the chapter grow and thrive. I’m humbled to be president of this chapter – even if I have no idea how I got elected.”
Thank you, Tom, for sharing your wit and enthusiasm about NAPO Greater Philadelphia, and especially for your leadership and contributions to NAPO!
