Associate Membership is for companies or individuals whose work complements professional organizers.

Our Associate Members benefit from opportunities for increased business through greater visibility to, and relationships with, the 150-plus members of our chapter. Our Regular Members benefit by having a network of known, complementary resources to support client engagements.

Read a testimonial from an Associate Member who has enjoyed business growth and building relationships through this program. Allen Frechter, owner and founder of Great Garages and Closets, shared his thoughts about being an Associate Member:
“We have received three major benefits through this program:

• organization skills and experience – there is a tremendous amount of knowledge we have gained through the meeting presentations and directly from members at the meetings, via the membership emails, and from working directly with fellow members on client projects. 
• general small business knowledge – NAPO is comprised of many successful small business founders and owners.  I have personally learned from them many new ideas and perspectives on growing a small business.
• direct business opportunities – we have received many new leads and customers via referrals from NAPO-NE members.”
