Book/Discussion Group 2011

The NAPO-NE Book/Discussion Group meets on the same night as the NAPO-New England monthly chapter meeting.  Each month we read and discuss a book/topic relevant to professional organizers and/or the clients we serve.  You do not have to read the book in order to attend the Book/Discussion Group, but an interest in the topic is helpful.  Your participation will increase the value of this members’ only benefit.  Come join us for a lively discussion, meet other organizers, and learn something new all at the same time.

Discussion usually begins at 6:00 pm, although we occasionally meet after the chapter meeting; check the schedule below for details.
