NAPO-LA’s October Volunteer of the Month award was given to Erin Haas for all the time she spends posting NAPO-LA events and news on the many social networking websites.

Erin’s Simple Solutions and NAPO-LA’s Online Ambassador

What is your business name and website?

Erin’s Simple Solutions, www.erinssimplesolutions.com.

Where do you live and where do you do business?

I live in Los Angeles near Culver City and do business anywhere in the greater Los Angeles area.

How did you get into organizing as a profession?

I used to work as a designer for many different theaters in Atlanta and found that I preferred organizing the props storage areas rather than doing the work I was supposed to do! After two theaters hired me to organize their storage areas, I officially had the organizing bug.

Where are you from originally?

I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin (population 7,000), which I hated at the time but appreciate more and more every time I go home to visit.

What are your main organizing interests or specialties?

I love residential organizing and staging rooms so that they have more functionality, flow and style.

What do you like to do when you aren’t organizing?

I volunteer with Tails of the City Animal Rescue helping dogs find new homes (let me know if you’re looking for a furry friend)! I also love making homemade greeting cards and crocheting.

I have been married to my husband Steve for almost six years and we have two furry children: a chihuahua “Mrs. Miyagi” and a cat “Elli.”

How did you come to join NAPO and/or NAPO-LA?

I joined NAPO in 2008 after Chris McKenry invited me to check it out. I really enjoy the comradery and supportive nature of the members and the opportunities to learn more about organizing and growing my business.

What has been your experience volunteering in NAPO-LA?

Volunteering is a great way to get to know other NAPO members and to make the most of your membership. By contributing my time to NAPO, I have become more involved in the organizing community and have made life-long friendships.

Anything else we should know about you?

As part of my business, I also assist other professional organizers.
