Member Types
NAPO offers two membership types: individual and associate.
Individual Membership - JOIN NOW
NAPO offers two individual membership types—provisional and active.
You can join NAPO as a Provisional Member if you are an individual who has been doing business primarily in the field of organizing services for less than one year. In addition to other NAPO benefits, Provisional Members receive a moderated listserv dedicated to first-year members’ questions and concerns, plus valuable discounts on professional development (10 percent off the Active Member rate for the annual conference and 10 percent off the Active Member rate for one introductory 100-level NAPO course, to be used in the Provisional Membership year).
Provisional Member dues are $198, plus a one-time $20 processing fee.
You can become an Active Member* if you are an individual who has either completed your Provisional Membership year or already have more than one year of experience doing business primarily in the field of organizing. In addition to other NAPO benefits, Active 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.
Active Member dues are $225 annually, plus a one-time $20 processing fee (if not paid earlier through a Provisional Membership).
*To join as an Active Member, you must submit via email to napo@napo.net, via fax to 856/439-0525, or by mail one of the following forms of documentation. All documents must include your business or employer's name and a date that is at least one year prior to your application. Your Professional Organizer Directory listing will not be available until this documentation is verified by NAPO (approximately one business day from receipt):
