Here it is – the 7th Professional Organizers Blog Carnival, and the last one for 2009. We have a record number of professional organizers participating this month, and I’d like to thank those who are joining us for the first time, as well as our regulars and everyone in between! Grab your favorite beverage and get ready to read and enjoy!
Through our wonderful guest bloggers, we’ve had the pleasure of vicariously attending several major professional organizer conferences this year. We don’t hear quite so much about the smaller events, so I was quite pleased when Liz Jenkins of a fresh space agreed to tell us about the 11th Annual NAPO-WDC Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference for Professional Organizers held recently.
There have been quite a few major events for professional organizers this fall, and since many of you can only spare the time and funds to attend one (or maybe not even that), I’ve recruited some special people to let you know what you’ve missed. We’ve already heard about the POAA and AAPO conferences, and today Janine Adams is here to tell us all about the recent NSGCD Conference.
There are so many interesting options for professional organizers in terms of specialization, training, and certification, it can be challenging to figure out which ones may be beneficial to you, your clients, and your business. One of my goals with this blog is to provide you with information to help you make those decisions, and with that in mind, Sue West is visiting today to tell us about The Coach Approach for Organizers™.
This seems to be a popular season for conferences, at least in the organizing industry! Last week we heard about the recent POAA Conference, and today we have the pleasure of hearing about the 2009 Australasian Association of Professional Organisers (AAPO) Conference, thanks to Angela Esnouf, AAPO President, and Roz Howland, AAPO Vice President.
While those of us in North America were trying to squeeze in just a few more summer activities or getting our families ready for back to school, members of the Professional Organiser Association Africa (POAA) were gathering near Cape Town for their 3rd Annual Professional Conference. POAA member Jan McWilliams is here as our guest today to tell us all about it!
Did the NAPO Conference this spring leave you thirsting for more? Maybe you weren’t able to make it because the timing or location didn’t work for you. Or maybe you’ve never been to a conference and are a little intimidated about such a large gathering of professional organizers. If any of these apply to you, grab your calendar and block off November 6 to 8, 2009 – it’s time for you to go to Calgary!
There’s lots of buzz right now about A&E’s new documentary series about real people whose compulsive hoarding is leading to serious problems in their everyday lives. If you didn’t catch the premiere on Monday night, be sure to visit the Hoarders website to see what you missed.
Professional Organizers in Canada (POC) recently announced the nominees for this year’s Harold Taylor Award, which was created in 2001 to recognize outstanding individual contribution, guidance and direction to the organizing profession and the association.
I have written before about the power of public speaking, both as a marketing tool and as a way to support charitable organizations. Another great way to share your expertise with others is by speaking at national or regional conferences, and there are a couple of opportunities coming up you may want to think about.
