Discussion Forums

A great response has been posted on the discussion forum regarding teaching continuing education classes.  A member had been asked to teach a class in floral design and came to the discussion board looking for some help crafting lesson plans. A fellow member offered up a wonderfully detailed guide on how to get the ball rolling — from setting up a time to meet with the director of continuing education to suggestions for basic lab fees. Read all about it by clicking here.

A member had posted a request for sources selling cello wrap imprinted with his company logo. Apparently, the company he had been relying on suddenly introduced a "$300 plate charge to make any change to it." A helpful response was recently added to the board directing him to Nashville Wraps. Want to know why Nashville Wraps got a nod?

Or go ahead and start your own discussion.
