john,
The 2025 WCRI Annual Issues & Research Conference is happening March 6–7 in Phoenix, Arizona. As a leading workers’ compensation forum, this conference provides a unique opportunity to stay informed on policy changes, research findings, and key industry trends.
WCRI offers labor scholarships that fully cover registration for union leaders interested in attending. When I attended a few years ago, I found the conference incredibly valuable—not just for the insights I gained, but also for the relationships I built. You can view the conference agenda here.
If you’d like to attend, please contact Andrew Kenneally, WCRI’s Communications Director, at [email protected] or 617-892-0125. He is the main point of contact for labor attendees, can assist with registration, and typically hosts a labor networking dinner on the first night of the conference.
I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to learn, network, and strengthen labor’s voice in workers’ compensation policy.
In Solidarity,
Fred Yamashita
Secretary-Treasurer
