No -- absolutely not.  However most of the coach training students who are also organizers are affiliated with these organization (as is the CAT-IAC founder and director of training). And yes, we are aware of the important work of POC*, APDO*, JALO* and other international organizer organizations. Members of any of these organizations who take advantage of their training and conference opportunities learn so much which an isolated organizer would not.  ICD* subcribers in particular have access to training about client characteristics and the needs of people who live with chronic disorganization. This indepth information is a great complement to CAT-IAC training. If you have questions about your readiness for this work, contact Denslow to talk it over (blue box above).  *NAPO -- National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals *ICD -- Institute for Challenging Disorganization *POC -- Professional Organizers of Canada *APDO -- Association of Professional Declutters and Organizers *JALO -- Japanese Association of Life Organizers
