NAPO Arizona

📣 NAPO-AZ is hosting a virtual event open to ALL NAPO members — and we'd love to see you there.

On Thursday, July 9th we're welcoming Judy Granlee-Gates, award-winning author of Bigger Living Smaller Space, for a two-hour virtual session on one of the most in-demand skills in our profession right now: guiding clients through downsizing with confidence, compassion, and without the overwhelm.

Judy Granlee-Gates brings real-world strategies for the emotional and logistical side of downsizing — the stuff that actually trips clients up. You'll walk away with tools you can use immediately, whether you're supporting a full-home transition or helping someone thoughtfully edit and refine their space.

What to expect:
— Navigating decision-heavy transitions without fear or regret
— Helping clients release clutter while honoring what matters most
— Creating functional, beautiful spaces in smaller footprints

📅 Thursday, July 9
⏰ 5:30–7:30 PM (Phoenix / MST)
📍 Zoom with Replay Option
📚 3 CEU credits

Thank you to our incredible sponsors for helping make our Board Installation evening so special! ✨

We are so grateful to our very own Elaine Kresta, Senior Advisor with A Place for Seniors, along with owner, Allison Carman, and Paul & Kirsten Muench, owners of Gentle Turns Transportation, for their support and dedication to serving seniors in our community and beyond. The work you do is truly meaningful, and our chapter loved learning more about your passion and purpose behind it all.

A special thank you as well to Kiln for providing such a beautiful, warm, and welcoming space for our celebration—it was the perfect setting for connection, reflection, and community.

To all of our members and guests who attended, thank you for celebrating alongside us. This past term was filled with growth, meaningful connections, and countless lives touched through the work we do together. It is truly an honor to serve as your President, and I’m incredibly excited for all we will accomplish together in 2026–2027!

And finally, a heartfelt thank you to our outgoing board members—Sarah Nieto, Laura Voight, Kim Glynn, and Sabrina Sanchez. Your dedication, leadership, and friendship have meant so much to me and to this chapter. While I’ll miss serving alongside you on the board, I’m grateful our friendships will continue beyond it. 💛
