Budget – Getting Your Share
• Present the clearest and most comprehensive picture possible when req esting a professional de elopment opport nitrequesting a professional development opportunity.
• Make sure you understand the budgeting process in your organization. If professional development comes from soft money, find out how to access th lthe pool.
• A list of benefits for the institution and for yourself. How the activity enhances your own skill set and how it fits in with your overall
f i l d l t lprofessional development plan.
• A plan for how you will transfer the knowledge learned to other employees.
• How you feel you will participate and represent your institution at the conference. Best if you volunteer to speak, moderate a session, chair a panel, lead a round table or similar activities.
• If appropriate, what will be the risks of not attending?

Budget – Getting Your Share
• A careful compilation of all the costs for attending the conference. Hint: Use the ord in estment instead of cost or e pense hen req esting aUse the word investment instead of cost or expense when requesting a budget.
• Lobby often for additional funds for staff that report to you. An increase in th i kill k ff ti i j b Al dtheir skills makes you more effective in your own job. Also a very good motivational tool for lower and mid-level staff.
• Get comparative information on what peer institutions provide for their t ffstaff.
• Whenever you're requesting an investment, it's a good strategy to have an alternative in case your proposal is not accepted.
• If it's a delicate ask, present like you would present a proposal. Covering memo, attached conference agenda with the most useful sessions highlighted and an attached budget. Gives your manager time to think b t it d t ti id k it h d tabout it, and extra supporting evidence makes it harder to say no.
