Plan Your Annual CE BudgetIs your professional development
a “cost” or an “investment?”If it is strongly aligned to core needs of the business: an
investment. If it builds capabilities that are strategically important for future
growth and opportunity: an investment.

Tips• Determine what you can
better do online vs. in person.
• Prioritize conferences that include peer networking and hands-on training sessions.
• Do your homework. That means more than just registering for a conference.
• Always – as in EVERY SINGLE TIME – register early for in-person conferences.
