August Meeting: PO’s Going Green
The NAPO Nashville August meeting being held Thursday, August 12th, is VIRTUAL this month so you can join us in your jammies to learn all about being green in the Organizing industry. We’ve been lucky enough to have 2 great Chicago organizers talk with us about how they use green practices in their business and how we can too. Many of us are already “green” but might wonder how we can turn that into a viable option for making money in our business. These are the people to ask!
Register now to ensure your spot!
TOPIC For the August Virtual Meeting:
PO’s Going Green Organizers Linette George & Jan Wencel will lead us in a discussion on the greening of our profession. Learn new reduce/reuse/recycle techniques, share your tried & true methods, and brainstorm the next level of helping residential & corporate clients operate in a more sustainable manner.
BIOS
Linette and Jan are active NAPO-Chicago members, Certified GO System trainers and Certified Professional Organizers®.
Linette George
Linette George founded Get Organized by George, Inc. in 2003. Through individual consultations, presentations, and group training sessions, she helps clients better manage not only their “stuff” but also their lives. Linette’s goal is to help clients live and work better with less, and go green. To that end clients are consulted on conscious consuming, non-toxic cleaning options, reuse, recycling, proper disposal of hazardous waste, and donation opportunities. Ultimately she streamlines and declutters clients’ lives and offices while raising their environmental consciousness. Linette heads up the NAPO-Chicago Green Team and the NAPO National Green Organizers SIG (special interest group). She is a member of Green America’s Green Business Network™ and is a board member of SCARCE.
Jan Wencel
Jan Wencel founded Life Contained, Inc. in 2005. She specializes in teaching busy professionals how to get work stuff done so they can live their life more joyfully. She often plays “email therapist” to professionals whose email inboxes are piled high with messages and gives hope to those who have a sense that there is no possibility of catching up. In 2001 Jan and her husband streamlined their possessions, pushed them into a storage locker, & took a year-long, life-changing travel sabbatical. Living from a backpack, she learned she can live happily on far less. She’s a NAPO-Chicago Green Team member, contributes ideas to the Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee where she lives, and volunteers for the Green Earth Institute, an organic farm in her community.
