During These Hard Budget Times,
Use the Net

Are you making adequate use of the Internet to help you do your ED job during these hard budget times? The Internet is not only an effective and efficient way to communicate, provide information, market, learn, survey your marketplace and stakeholders, hold net meetings, and other things--it's cost-effective.

I am watching as state, regional and national ED associations across the U.S. and abroad are suffering because of low attendance at conferences and seminars. Maybe we should be making more extensive use of the Internet to accomplish these objectives until budgets re-adjust. This is the perfect time to use the power of distance learning to accomplish your ED training objectives. For the price of attending one annual conference, you can buy a new computer and purchase a one-year DSL or cable Internet subscription. Think about it.
