I know I should probably post this under Director CS, but I haven't gotten my packet yet with the password and I'm under a time crunch, so here goes.

I understand I can take advantage of the Professional Development reimbursement this year, since I promoted 12/1, and that I have to do it by the end of the year...any suggestions on what to take and how to find these classes?

I appreciate any and all suggestions!
 
I was going to take a time management class at the local community college - but I missed the deadline. Guess that's why I need a time management class! LOL

the college also offers Leadership Development courses.
 
try a cooking class ;) Go online, and put in "cooking classes" and your city name.
take your time after Jan. 1 to find some leadership class thingy.

Congrats!:sing:
 
I used mine on a professional organizer for my office. It was pricey, but totally beneficial!
