Hi Scott, Does your company have a tuition reimbursement plan? If so, you might be able to use that. I have.
It was rare that my employer would cover costs for SHARE for me either. It can also be possible, depending on your circumstances, to use unreimbursed employee business expense deductions on your taxes. Just be sure that you check out all of the rules. If your company can't be persuaded to join, there are other membership options. Check out SHARE's website for all of the options. Documenting the business case for other means of obtaining the timely topical training that SHARE provides, can also be very helpful in getting the support you need. Even if the best an employer will do is to pay your time while you are at SHARE, that is a start. Also, if your company has ever been burned by anyone who claimed that they were going to SHARE, but didn't actually go to SHARE, you will need proof that you actually attended. Be sure to keep your SHARE ID. Selfies at registration, on the vendor floor, at sessions, etc. can serve as a video diary of proof of attendance. Best of luck to you!
