Greetings:

The UAW Financial Officers’ Conference will be held Sunday, March 13 through Friday, March 18, 2016, at the Doubletree at the Entrance to Universal – in Orlando, Florida.

This conference is for local union presidents, financial secretaries/treasurers, trustees and recording secretaries.  Local union bookkeepers may also attend.  Local unions should plan on attending one of two sessions being offered:

  • Session 1 for LM 2 filers on March 14th – 17th
  • Session 2 for LM 3 & 4 filers on March 16th – 18th

Each session will give you step-by-step instructions for filing your LM and 990 forms.  Participants will have an opportunity to have financial questions answered by International Staff, as well as, learn about any recent changes made by the UAW International Union, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Department of Labor.

For our public sector delegates, please register for Session 1 if you file IRS Form 990 or Session 2 if you file IRS Form 990EZ or 990N.

Delegates are able to attend two workshops. There will be seven workshops offered to the delegates so training can be interest specific. Workshop descriptions can be found online when you register.

All approved software providers will be in attendance.  If your LM forms validate, LM’s may be filed electronically at the conference.
