Washington, DC – December 19, 2007 - The National Association of Professional Organizers, Washington DC Metro Chapter (NAPO-WDC) is sponsoring its fourth annual Get Organized MonthSM in January 2008. Get Organized MonthSM is a national, industry-wide event dedicated to raising awareness of the benefits of getting organized and of hiring a professional organizer.

“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 almost 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 MonthSM 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.”

The NAPO-WDC Chapter of the National Association of Professional Organizers selects a deserving local nonprofit agency each year to receive organizational assistance. During GO Month, members of NAPO-WDC will work alongside the organization’s members and/or volunteers to “makeover” their space. The goal is to offer the necessary organizational assistance so that they can focus on their mission to provide services to the community.
