2010 Events

We have really enjoyed the many speaking opportunities we have had this year and there are more to come. In June we were invited to speak twice to the wonderful people at the Jewish Family Services of Central New Jersey. We shared with them some of our experiences in helping people burdened by hoarding and traded some insights which were helpful to all of us. We received a very nice letter of appreciation from Chris Kaiser, the Director of Older Adult in-home services.  We hope to collaborate with them on some projects in the future.

May is prime time for spring cleaning.  BERGFELD's was invited to speak to members of the Lenox Hill Neighborhood House in their Spring Cleaning Series.  Topics included junk mail reduction, record keeping, how, who & where to go to make donations and get appraisals.

BERGFELD's returned to the NAPO National conference this year.  We invited our colleague, Rebecca Eddy of Eddy & Schein, Inc. to co-present a workshop titled: “Aging in Place”: Dynamic Opportunities for Professional Organizers to Serve Elders and Shape a Growing Market.  We were thrilled to have such a great attendance, about 120 joined us to hear us speak about the growing numbers of people over 85 who are choosing to 'Age in Place', the widening 'Care Gap' of people entering into the field of caregiving, and exploring the possibilities for Professional Organizers to serve this growing community.
