Industry Member - Provisional
You can join NAPO as an Industry Member - Provisional Member if you are an individual who has been doing business primarily in the field of professional organizing services for less than one year. In addition to other NAPO benefits, Industry Member - Provisional Members receive a moderated listserv dedicated to first-year members' questions and concerns, plus valuable discounts on professional development, including 10 percent off the Industry Member rate for the annual conference and 10 percent off the Industry Member rate for one introductory 100-level NAPO course, to be used in the Industry Member - Provisional Membership year.
Industry Member - Provisional Member dues are $205, plus a one-time $25 processing fee.
Industry Member
You can become an Industry Member* if you are an individual who has either completed your Industry Member - Provisional Membership year or already have more than one year of experience doing business primarily in the field of professional organizing services. In addition to other NAPO benefits, Industry Members are listed in the Professional Organizer Directory, participate in product development research, are entitled to voting privileges, and may hold office and serve on the Board of Directors.
Industry membership is offered at two levels:
- Level 1: Industry Member – without employees: dues are $235 annually

The membership will be “owned” by the Industry member. In addition to other NAPO benefits, Employee of Industry Members will receive valuable discounts on professional development, including 10 percent off the Industry Member rate for the annual conference and 10 percent off the Industry Member rate for NAPO courses. Dues for this level of membership are as follows:

Dues include a one-time $25 processing fee (if not paid previously through employers' Industry membership).
Level 2 Industry Members (i.e. employers) are required to submit a copy of a W2 form for each employee, seeking Employee of Industry Member membership, with their application.
Emeritus Member
You can become an Emeritus Member if you are an individual who has retired from employment in the field of professional organizing services. Candidates must be at least 55 years of age and must have been a NAPO member for a total of 15 consecutive years. Emeritus Members will continue to receive the valuable benefits of NAPO membership at a significantly discounted rate.
Emeritus Member dues are $50 annually. The $25 processing fee will not be required for this level of membership.
