Budget Stretch Bootcamp: Real-Time Savings with REMC SAVE
Description

This session helps Michigan schools stretch their budgets by showing how to save money on everyday purchases using REMC SAVE, a free service for all Michigan public and private schools. Attendees will learn how REMC SAVE leverages collective buying power to secure competitively bid, large-volume contracts on everything from supplies and furniture to technology, so districts don't have to manage the bidding process themselves, and no membership is required. Participants will explore commonly purchased items in real time to see potential savings and how simple it is to use REMC SAVE for regular purchasing needs. The session also includes a high-level overview of the REMC Association of Michigan, plus REMC's additional free resources and professional learning. Attendees will leave ready to start saving immediately.
