I don’t know what made me think I’d find time to blog while in Orlando for the 2009 conference of the National Association of Professional Organizers. You’d think by now I’d know that I spend little time in my room there and when I am in my room I’m either chatting or sleeping.
I had a tremendous time there. I thought I’d share a few of the highlights.
If there’s a professional association in your field and you don’t attend its annual conference, I’d encourage you to look into it. The enthusiasm, synergy, and good feelings you can get from hanging out with people who care about what you do is absolutely invaluable.
I was so glad to see eight other members of NAPO St. Louis there. Making the investment in attending conference, in my opinion, shows such a commitment to our businesses. And it makes us better organizers.
