Organize Your Elephant

08/13/2023

Hello fellow parents! It is back to school time. Time when we are all trying to find our routines again. Also, a great time to take advantage of getting organized while the kids are away!

To celebrate this time of year, I am offering organizing services for $50/hr (that's a 20% discount) for the month of September. This includes a free home, office, or classroom assessment via zoom.

Please feel free to sign up for your free home assessment via text, phone call, or calendar link below. I'm a working 'Mom Boss' with hours typically between 8am - 3pm Monday through Friday.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. I would love to walk you through the process and ease any worries.

In Arizona, I think of two things: fires and floods.

I will dive into the aforementioned all month with tips, printouts, and links to hopefully help you feel more prepared in the event of a Natural Disaster.

I’m most excited to assist others in their professional organizing journey. Message me if you are interested in the organizing profession and need help knowing where to start. ❤️

Our NAPO Arizona Board Members spent some time together at our Board Retreat in July creating and reshaping our vision for our chapter. Julie Jakubek, opened her beautiful office for us to have a space to collaborate. We recalibrated and generated visions for our budget, meetings and programming, membership support, and more.

We know that 2020 brought its challenges, but with great leadership, our local chapter managed to grow during unprecedented times, and we plan to continue this expansion. It is our desire to continue to be the leading, professional source for our community to find professional organizers, productivity coaches, and business partners.

What are you most excited about for the 2021-2022 season?

I am beyond thrilled to work with this great group of individuals and to keep moving NAPO forward!

President’s Message, June 2021:

I am honored to step into the role of NAPO-Arizona President, following in the footsteps of Deb Lawrence and the extraordinary individuals who have served the Chapter in this capacity over the past 25 years.

As we move into a new year, we owe a huge thank you to the 2020-2021 Board of Directors for their dedication, service and leadership over the past year. Also, to our members for giving your time and talents to make the year a success. This last year has been a testament to the resilience and fortitude of the remarkable individuals who make up NAPO-AZ. Despite the uncertainties and obstacles that arose in the last year, NAPO-AZ has the highest number of membership and is growing daily.

As I look ahead to the upcoming year and the challenges we will face, I would like to share one of my favorite adages: “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Gandhi. I look forward to serving as NAPO-AZ Chapter President and bringing my passion, dedication and tenacity to this amazing organization.

I am excited to welcome your 2021-2022 Officers and Directors to the Board who I am certain will successfully fill their predecessors’ shoes! Please join me in welcoming: Vice-President, Kayle Klix; Secretary, Crystal Goodman; Treasurer, Cindy Keefe; Director of Membership, Denise R Stalsberg; Director of Marketing, Sheri MacGregor; Director of Business Partners, Julie Jakubek; Director of Professional Development, Eric Marshall; and Past President, Debbi Watts Lawrence.

Our new and returning Chairs include: Newsletter Chair, Missy Feldman; Librarian, Debbi Bertolettolet; NAPO Ambassador, Bridges Conner; and Golden Circle Ambassador, Valerie Cantrell.

I am thrilled to be working with such an exceptional group of leaders in the months ahead. Thank you for allowing me to serve alongside you this year. I truly appreciate your support and encourage you to share any feedback and ideas you may have as we work together in the coming year.

Your new president,

Sarah Nie
