Join us for our Calibre’s 13th Annual National Labor Union Conference— an essential event for labor union professionals looking to stay informed on the latest developments in financial compliance, reporting, and risk management.
This year’s agenda includes timely insights on DOL audits, labor reporting, tax updates, and cybersecurity strategies tailored for unions.
We’re honored to welcome Michael Kelley, Vice President, Information Security Officer on the Truist Corporate Cyber Security Team, as our keynote speaker. He will discuss actionable steps unions can take to defend against sophisticated cyber threats—what to look out for and how to respond.
The program also features a live Q&A session, offering a valuable chance to engage with our experts, get personalized guidance, and explore key challenges facing today’s labor organizations.
“As the landscape continues to evolve, it’s more important than ever for labor unions to have access to timely, expert guidance—especially in areas like cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and financial reporting. Our National Labor Union Conference provides a space for collaboration, insight, and strategic thinking. At Calibre, we’re proud to stand alongside union leaders, offering the tools and knowledge they need to protect and strengthen their organizations.”
