Tip # 35 Stretch Your Training Budget

Becky Bowman of the Clarke County Board of Commissioners, Athens, Ga., stretches her budget by collecting end rolls of newsprint paper discarded after production at a local printing plant.

Asking your small-town newspaper may prove to be a good source, as well.

                                                                                           

Find more creative uses for newspaper print at To Draw or Trace: That is the Question, presented by Doug MacCallum at this year’s BPG Training and Performance Solutions Conference.
