Testimonials

Co-founder of POAA (Professional Organisers Association Africa), Jeanne Viljoen, wrote...

"In 2007 I decided to expand my long career as business consultant and project manager into the field of Professional Organiser. With no "formal" Professional Organiser Association in South Africa, I joined AAPO to gain credibility, BUT I received so much more. The education and support was invaluable and even though I could not benefit from their Professional Organiser Directory (since I am in South Africa) it was still the best investment I could ever make."
