NAPO Austin Chapter

Serving Greater Austin, San Antonio & Central Texas

Our Mission

NAPO-Austin educates, supports, and promotes productivity and organizing professionals and our industry to better serve the needs of our clients.

Our History

NAPO Austin is one of more than 30 chapters of our parent association, the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO). NAPO was founded in 1985 as a not-for-profit educational association. The Austin chapter was established in 2007 and primarily consists of professional organizers in the greater Austin area, but covers all of Central Texas and spans from San Antonio to Waco. We are committed to providing education, support, and networking opportunities for each other and to promote awareness of the organizing industry. We currently have 38+ members throughout central Texas.

Governance

NAPO AUSTIN STATEMENT ON DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION

As an association, we believe

that the success of NAPO’s mission to be the leading source for Organizing and Productivity professionals relies on the collective efforts of our members of all races, religions, backgrounds, ages, abilities, beliefs, gender identities, and orientations. NAPO welcomes, supports and celebrates the diversity of people who are drawn to our profession and our association.

As professionals, we believe

a diverse, equitable and inclusive professional organization drives innovation within our association, builds successful businesses, and delivers cultural competency in our work with the communities we serve.

As members, we believe

our members should feel valued for their talents and experience, recognized for their contributions, and encouraged to bring their authentic selves to participate in NAPO and our industry.

As a community, we believe

that when people feel appreciated and included, they will be more creative, collaborative, innovative, and successful. We believe that treating each other with respect and kindness in our words and actions builds community within our association and enriches us all.
