' right The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO, pronounced ''NAY-poh'') is a United States professional association headquartered at Mount Laurel, New Jersey dedicated to the field of organizing. NAPO has over 4000 members, including members living in Canada, Japan, Australia, and more. NAPO’s current tagline, The Organizing Authority, demonstrates their professionalism, expertise and service to those in the organizing field. Today the mission of NAPO is to “develop, lead, and promote professional organizers and the professional organizing industry.” 〔http://www.napo.net/who/〕 NAPO has a strategic alliance with associations in related fields worldwide. NAPO has formed a partnership with National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM), Professional Organizer in Canada (POC), and Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD). ==History== In 1983, a group of women in Los Angeles gathered together when realizing they shared a common interest – organizing people’s homes, businesses and time. All of these women shared an entrepreneurial passion for helping others get organized. They started the Association for Professional Organizers (APO) and continued to meet regularly in their homes. In January 1986, the group had grown to 16 women who formally created a non-profit association that would meet regularly, collect dues, adopt bylaws and be run by a board of directors. The six original officers were Beverly Clower, Stephanie Culp, Ann Gambrell, Maxine Ordesky, and Jeanie Shorr. This was officially the beginning of the National Association of Professional Organizers, (NAPO), (pronounced NAY-poh), as we know today. 〔http://www.napo.net/who/history/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Association of Professional Organizers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
