<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.napo.net/general/custom.asp?page=conference_livestrea"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Livestreaming</strong></span> </a>is a new feature to NAPO’s annual meeting - a truly interactive component, that allows members the opportunity to not just passively listen to the conference, but also to participate in the sessions. Active participation allows virtual attendees to ask questions, request additional information, respond to requests and be truly engaged in the annual meeting experience. This new method of conference participation is a great solution for those members for whom distance, timing and/or pricing is an obstacle. NAPO is pleased to be able to offer its valued members the opportunity to participate in some of the most engaging and informative sessions being offered.</p>

<div style="color: #00539b; text-align: left;">Here are the benefits of The Container Store's NAPO Rewards program:</div>
<ul style="color: #383838; text-align: left;">
    <li style="color: #00539b;">You earn 10% back in the form of a NAPO Rewards Card on all regular priced or sale priced merchandise, TCS Installation and TCS Closets®, once you meet a&nbsp;<span>$3,000 annual spend.</span></li>
    <li style="color: #00539b;"><span>The NAPO customer receipt displays the price you paid for the product (not a discounted price).</span></li>
    <li style="color: #00539b;"><span>No Photo ID is required - simply share your POP! ID Number with our Register Sales Person upon checkout.</span></li>
    <li style="color: #00539b;"><span>NAPO Members are able to use their 10% Reward as you see fit for your own business.</span></li>
    <li style="color: #00539b;"><span>Please continue to use your personal credit card or business credit card that includes your name. This will insure there are no tax implications when receiving your Rewards early next year.</span></li>
    <li style="color: #00539b;"><span>In order to receive NAPO Rewards, we must have your W-9 on file. Please send it to&nbsp;</span><a shape="rect" href="mailto:napo@containerstore.com" linktype="2" target="_blank" style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">napo@containerstore.com</a><span>.*</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #00539b; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">*Why do we need this? If products are purchased by someone other than you, and&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px;">you&nbsp;</span>earn Rewards, The Container Store is required to submit a 1099 for those Rewards earned.</span></div>

<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><img height="143" vspace="5" border="0" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.1599" hspace="5" width="180" src="http://files.ctctcdn.com/1f573519001/7e1407b6-a65a-433a-bdbd-4639a98db787.jpg?a=1123092659921" align="right"></div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<div>We are very excited about the new NAPO.net and glad that you are exploring your new space. Here are four troubleshooting tips:&nbsp;</div>
<div >
<div>1. If you are no longer receiving emails from POINT, or if you started receiving emails from POINT and don't wish to have them in your inbox, for instructions to change your settings,&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" track="on" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BycNSbXPNKVkYmpkMm5Wd1VNMHc/view" shape="rect" linktype="1" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">click here</a>.</div>
<div>2. If you have not yet logged on to the new website, please use the User ID from the old NAPO website and the&nbsp;password<strong>&nbsp;changeme1&nbsp;</strong></div>
<div>3.&nbsp; If you are not appearing in one of your POINT communities or in your chapter, please notify NAPO HQ using the&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" track="on" href="http://www.napo.net/general/default.asp?type=CONTACT" shape="rect" linktype="1" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Contact Us</a>&nbsp;form on&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" track="on" href="http://www.napo.net/" shape="rect" linktype="1" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">NAPO.net</a></div>
<div>4. We are still working out some kinks with the Find an Organizer directory. If you cannot find yourself using the zip code search, please allow us a few more weeks before reaching out to NAPO HQ. We are hoping to have all directory kinks worked out by&nbsp;<strong><em>Monday, December 20th</em></strong>.&nbsp;</div>
<div >
<div>In the meantime, please take advantage of new member benefits for Professional members, including&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" track="on" href="http://point.napo.net/education/specialinterestgroups" shape="rect" linktype="1" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">two free SIG memberships</a>&nbsp;and including a head shot in the Find an Organizer directory at no extra charge. If you need further instructions on how to change your profile, please&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" track="on" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8svLphTQMoE" shape="rect" linktype="1" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">watch this video</a>.&nbsp;</div>
