Branch Officers Training set for Sept. 15-18 in Boston, MA

NALC Secretary-Treasurer Nicole Rhine is announcing that a Branch Officers Training will be held Sept. 15-18, 2025, in Boston, MA.

Branch Officers Training sessions consist of three and a half days of educational seminars tailored to assist branch presidents, vice presidents, treasurers, recording secretaries, financial secretaries, and trustees in the performance of their duties.

Branch Officers Training covers the basics for financial officers: reporting to the Department of Labor; fiduciary duties under the Landrum-Griffin Act; bonding of branch officers and IRS reporting requirements.

Additional training topics include the NALC Constitution and branch bylaws; branch operations and identifying branch policies; maintaining accurate and complete meeting minutes; member notification requirements; record keeping; branch elections and branch dues and how to read a dues roster.

The registration form for the training will be included in the next NALC Bulletin. Branches and State Associations must use the registration form to register for the class.

Note: Do not make airline reservations until you receive an acceptance letter, as the training has limited space. For budgeting purposes, the daily room rate for the training in Boston is $299 single/double plus tax.
