Lisa Montanaro gains professional certification

WARWICK - Lisa Montanaro received the designation of Certified Professional Organizer® (CPO®) from the Board of Certification for Professional Organizers (BCPO). She is one of only approximately 200 CPOs in the world, having achieved this distinction by completing a rigorous course of study of organizing and related topics, and passing the inaugural CPO exam administered in April. CPO certification is a voluntary, industry-led effort that Montanaro says is a “formal acknowledgment of my dedication to professional organizing and how I aim to exemplify the best the industry has to offer.” Montanaro will be honored in April 2008 at the annual conference for the professional organizing industry to be held in Reno. Her business LM Organizing Solutions, established in 2002, offers organizing, business and life coaching, and motivational speaking.
