NAPO Individual Membership
NAPO offers two individual membership types—provisional and active.
You are a provisional member if you are a new organizer with less than one year of experience in the organizing industry. In addition to other NAPO benefits, provisional members receive special discounts (10% off the active member rate for conference and 10% off the active member rate for one introductory 100-level NAPO course, to be used in your provisional membership year), plus a moderated e-mail discussion group dedicated to first-year members' questions and concerns. Provisional member dues are $180 plus a one-time $20 processing fee.
You are an active member* if you have completed your provisional membership year, or are a new NAPO member with more than one year of professional organizing experience. In addition to other NAPO benefits, active members are listed in the online referral directory, participate in product development research, are entitled to voting privileges, and are eligible to hold office. Active member dues are $200 plus a one-time $20 processing fee.
*To join as an active member, new members with more than one year of professional organizing experience must submit one of the following forms of documentation online, or via fax to 856/439-0525. All documents must include your business or employer's name and a date that is at least one year prior to your application. Your referral directory listing will not be available until this documentation is verified by NAPO (approximately one business day from receipt):
