Professional Organizers Convene for Conference in Orlando

We're in Orlando Florida beginning next week to attend the NAPO Annual Conference.  We'll be meeting up with lots of colleagues from around the world, networking and getting educated in the latest and greatest organizing techniques.

There are two big highlights of the Conference. We're participating in the "Business Dreams Come True" General Session Panel.  Moderated by Los Angeles Professional Organizer and Real Simple TV Expert Jodie Watson, panelists include Katherine Attebury, Allison Carter, Leslie McKee, Lorie Marrero, Cindy Swan and yours truly John Trosko.

Business dreams do come true no matter where you live. Whether you’re from the rolling plains of Montana, the Texas Hill Country, the heart of Beverly Hills, an island in the Atlantic, or the hip city of Atlanta, you can grow a successful business. Learn how the panelists did it by following their instincts, making mistakes, adapting their work to their environments, marketing themselves, and embracing change.

In addition, local Los Angeles colleagues Jodie Watson, Chris McKenry and myself have been nominated for the prestigious "Founders Award." The Award is presented to "a member or group of members acting in concert whose outstanding contributions have helped move the organizing profession forward. Through the Founders’ Award, the association says it admires and respects the recipients’ professionalism and achievements and is proud to have them as industry colleagues."  Jodie, Chris and I are nominated as a group for our work on the Los Angeles Organizing Awards.

Michael Port is giving the key note speech.  So we're excited about it all.

Drop us a note if you're going to be joining us at the conference!
