NAPO-GPC Educates its Members, Rewards Volunteers

2014 ConferenceThe NAPO Annual Conference & Organizing Expo is the professional development event for organizers who wish to further their education, discover industry advancements, and form lasting friendships with fellow organizing professionals. It is held in various cities throughout the country each spring and consequently can be a costly investment for our members. Through the replica watches generosity of our first NAPO-GPC scholarship partner, Marty Ingram, iphone 6s remplacement écran owner of PhillyJunk.com, a scholarship fund was created in 2012. Since then, the Scholarship fund has enabled three NAPO-GPC chapter members to attend the annual NAPO Annual Conference & Organizing Expo. In order to be eligible, the member must currently hold a volunteer position within the chapter and attend regular meetings. Covered expenses include conference registration fees, airfare, dining costs, and hotel accommodations – a tremendous benefit to our dedicated members who take initiative in our chapter and show dedication to our profession. Last year our winner was Jen Bowen of Contemporary Organizing. Here’s what she had to say about her experience:

“In 2014, I was the lucky winner of the NAPO Conference Scholarship, sponsored by PhillyJunk.com. This year’s NAPO Conference was a truly spectacular experience. Amidst the gorgeous Arizona landscape, I was treated to outstanding presenters and effortless camaraderie.  During the professional workshops, I gained information and skills that will help me better serve my clients. Some of the many intriguing topics included: student organizational tools, productivity apps and home inventory software. Additionally, I learned strategies to develop my own business model and enjoyed motivating presentations from veteran organizers.
It was a great honor to represent our chapter at the national conference this year. I encourage all eligible NAPO-GPC chapter members to apply for the 2015 Scholarship, and I invite all those interested in a professional partnership with NAPO-GPC to consider a contribution to the Scholarship Fund.” ~Jen Bowen
