- Professional development flourishes in win-win situations (they make everybody feel good and create a better learning environment).
- Information is power... when it's widely accessible.
- Expertise should be shared, heard and... compensated.
- Professional development and social networking should happen all-year long -- whether you have a travel budget or not.
- Nobody should pay to listen to vendors presenting their products or consultants pitching their services.
- Technology can make dreams come true at a fraction of their regular costs
- These cost savings should be shared among all parties - a single 1-hour webinar shouldn't cost several hundred dollars.
