Austin, TX -- (SBWire) -- 05/12/2010 -- Barry Izsak, Past President of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), was honored by its association’s president, Laura Leist, with the 2010 President's Award at its annual organizing conference in Columbus, Ohio held April, 2010. The award was given to Izsak to commemorate his outstanding contributions to the National Association of Professional Organizers.

At a banquet ceremony with almost 700 professional organizers present, President Leist honored Izsak, along with nine other past NAPO presidents in honor of the association's 25th. anniversary. "NAPO would not be where it is today," Leist remarked, "had it not been for the leadership of these ten individuals." Izsak is the only president in NAPO's history to have served two consecutive 2-year terms. Under Izsak's leadership, NAPO membership more than doubled, as did the number of NAPO chapters. Many landmark programs were launched including certification for the professional organizing industry.

On the heels of earning two industry certification credentials, Certified Professional Organizer (CPO) and Certified Relocation and Transition Specialist (CRTS), this award is truly a highlight in this Austin professional organizer's career. “It is indeed gratifying to have been honored in such a meaningful way and to have earned the appreciation and respect of my colleagues,” said Izsak. “It is an even greater honor knowing that my efforts have played a significant role in NAPO's phenomenal growth and heightening awareness of the professional organizing industry.”

This is the second time that Izsak has been honored with the President's Award and he is one of only two in NAPO's 25-year history to have been awarded three of its most distinguished awards: President's Award (2010) and (2002); Service to NAPO (2008), and the Founders’ Award (2005). He shares that distinction with Barbara Hemphill, the Paper Tiger lady.
