MAKE IT COUNT.. .By Bettina Sietz

Participate! - Choose a format that fits your interest and schedule.

Truth be told...I like to learn. It doesn't have to be one big project, but I like it when all my efforts line up in a

bigger rewarding picture: Like a new skill set that I can perfect over time, and that will help me to advance,

may it be in my private or professional life.

If something good is coming out of the first half of 2020 it's all the free and fantastic learning resources that we

can find right at our finger tips. You can conveniently line up your hours of professional development to

reach your next Road Scholar Level, to enjoy a reward and the recognition of your department and

municipality. (We like to shine a light ON YOU.)

All you have to do is :

Details about the Road Scholar Program can be found here, and each level comes with a great reward like a

travel mug, a beautiful portfolio, a multi-tool (can you ever have enough of those?), a clock with a reward

plaque, to name a few. The biggest reward though is your gain in knowledge and a new approach on how to

solve an old problem. That's priceless.

The BABMT Competition deadline is closing on June 1st. You made changes to a tool, a vehicle, a process or a building that

improved the safety or how you do things in a better way? Please let usknow. We are looking for your best idea - big or small!

Check out the submission details here.

Watch our Build-A-Better-Mousetrap Video to get inspired.

Once we are back in the classroom, these 5 certificates for T2 workshopseats (Total value up $500) will come in handy!

BABMT TIME IS RUNNING OUT... SUBMIT YOUR IDEAS!
