Going Green @ AEI

In an effort to be more green and reduce paper waste, there will be no paper handouts at the 2009 AE Institute education sessions. Tune in to Realtor.org the first week in March for downloads of all session handouts. At that time you can plan your curriculum and decide which classes are right for you. Change your mind on site? No worries. The AEI Cyber Station will allow you to print any last-minute handouts you may have neglected to print before you arrive in Colorado Springs.  A flash drive incuding speaker handouts and additional resources will be given to all attendees onsite.  You will also have the ability to load your own documents onto the 1Gig flash drive.
