Chapter Board of Directors
President
Jill Katz, One to Zen Organizing
(301) 799-8112 | president@dcorganizers.org
Problem Solving is a hobby of mine. In my previous career in marketing and market research, I used research, listening skills, flexibility and creative thinking to understand peoples wants and needs. As the owner of One to Zen Organizing, I help people gain control of their clutter by providing a framework for each person's personal journey toward organization. Because I believe that everyone deserves to feel calm and organized.
I joined NAPO-DC in 2018 and really enjoy the warmth of its members and the insightful discussions that we share about all-things-organizing. I am looking forward to giving back to our Chapter.
Vice President

Secretary
Carrie Noel-Nosbaum, Carrie It Away LLC
(240) 766-7909 | secretary@dcorganizers.org
As a former High School Teacher, I am passionate about teaching people and encouraging them to free up their time and space for who and what they love. My process is all about setting my clients up for success and encouraging them along the way. Planning, Executing and Celebrating are the cornerstones to effective change.
I’m so grateful that I joined NAPO at the start of my Professional Organizing career in 2021. It’s a wonderful community that allows me to connect with others and continue my love of lifelong learning.
Treasurer
Judy Kwon, Moonbeam Organizing, LLC
(832) 715-5894 | treasurer@dcorganizers.org
Moonbeam Organizing, LLC was born from my desire to help others create a home that is their haven. A calm and organized space, whether physical or digital, positively impacts quality of life. My mission is to support clients in making positive shifts and learning strategies that sustain this way of living with their space and things long after our work is done.
I was that artistic child with the tidy room. The left brain right brain balance led me towards a decade-long career in both arts administration and art making. The last twenty years were focused on managing high value art collections, museum exhibitions and public art projects. I currently serve as a Commissioner on the State of Maryland's Commission on Public Art.
Joining NAPO national in July 2023 and the Washington DC chapter in August, I am so grateful to be amongst such kind, heart-centered and helpful souls. I look forward to continued learning and growing and am excited to serve this beautiful community.
Director at Large
Elaine Weiss, Declutter for Good
(202) 468-3407 | directoratlarge@dcorganizers.org
I grew up with lots of clutter, and I am not a naturally organized person, but I was also that friend (sister, guest) who would open your coat closet, packed floor-to-ceiling with stuff, and see immediately imagine how it could be cleared out and well organized. I always loved tackling a “messy closet,” just not my own.
Like many of us, during COVID, I grew to see how clutter was causing problems in my life. This led to my mid-career shift from policy analysis to becoming a professional organizer. I founded Declutter For good with the goals of 1) de-stigmatizing and taking the shame out of the clutter and disorder many of us live with, and 2) ensuring that my client’s “trash” is transformed into “treasures” benefitting their neighbors and community.
Since joining NAPO-DC in 2023, I have loved getting to know many members, and learned a lot from fellow organizers, meetings, and sessions. I look forward to engaging more deeply and making our Chapter even stronger!Director of Membership
