ShelfGenie®, a franchised company that designs, builds and installs customized Glide-Out® shelving systems for existing cabinets, is the 2012 recipient of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) Corporate Associate Member of the Year Award. The award is presented each year to a corporate associate member who has made a significant contribution to NAPO and the profession of organizing. ShelfGenie is proud to join past winners OfficeMax®, The Container Store, Lillian Vernon, and other top names in the organizing industry as the latest winner of this prestigious award.
NAPO, a group of about 4,200 professional organizers dedicated to helping individuals and businesses bring order and efficiency to their lives, is known as the leading organizing authority, and offers programs, information and guidance to professional organizers and consumers. Each year in February, the Corporate Associate Member Committee Chair recommends the recipient of the award to an executive committee, which nominates and approves the selected winner.
NAPO Board President, Angela Wallace, presented the award to Allan Young, CEO and Co-Founder of ShelfGenie, during the 24th Annual NAPO Annual Conference and Organizing Exposition that was held March 21-24 in Baltimore, Md.
"The entire ShelfGenie system is extremely proud and honored to be named the winner of this coveted award," Young said. "As the only franchised provider of custom-built shelving solutions in the U.S., we look forward to continuing our mission and following our passion of helping people stay organized with our customized Glide-Out shelving systems."
